Tilapia fillet — mild white fish, low calorie, fast-cooking.

Cheaper and more available than cod or halibut. Lower omega-3 than salmon. Great for cuts.

Best for

  • cutting or high-protein days — 20g protein / 100g at 96 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 tilapia after cooking if that is how you eat it, or stick to one convention. 4 oz fillet (~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 page numbers are for plain tilapia. Oil, breading, and restaurant sauces change the estimate — typical kcal per 100g:

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.
