Cooked shrimp — extremely lean shellfish, fast-cooking.
Great protein-per-calorie but cholesterol is higher than fin-fish. Iodine-rich.
Best for
- cutting or high-protein days — 24g protein / 100g at 99 kcal
- meals where you want volume of protein without a fat bomb
Watch out
- restaurant versions that are breaded, sauced, or cooked in oil — the log is for the plain item
- weighing cooked vs raw without matching the database state
How to log it
Prefer weighing shrimp after cooking if that is how you eat it, or stick to one convention. 4 oz (~113g) is the practical unit in the app.
Where it fits the day
Fits as the protein anchor. Pair with a carb and produce so the plate is not only lean protein and boredom.
Cooked, grilled, fried & breaded
The numbers above are for plain shrimp. Cooking method and restaurant prep change the estimate — typical kcal per 100g:
| Method | Typical kcal / 100g | Why it moves |
|---|---|---|
| Boiled / grilled (plain) | ~99 | Matches a plain shrimp log |
| Sautéed in oil or butter | ~130–180 | Shellfish take on cooking fat fast |
| Breaded & fried | ~240–300 | Popcorn / tempura style |
| Restaurant scampi / creamy | ~180–280 | Butter and sauce, not the shrimp |
These are typical ranges, not lab measurements. Restaurant recipes, oils, and sauces vary — treat them as logging estimates and edit if your plate looks heavier.
