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.
