SERVING SIZE
Calories by portion and serving weight
Words such as “small,” “medium,” “half” and “one piece” are convenient but imprecise. Grams make the estimate reproducible, particularly when natural foods vary in size.

FOOD STATE MATTERS
How preparation changes the nutrition estimate
A reliable calorie entry should describe the food you actually ate—not merely a food with a similar name.
Cooked, moist heat
Selected reference; additives may be present.
Raw
Use a raw record and never compare raw and cooked gram weights directly.
Grilled or fried
Use the matching preparation and include breading or oil.
In sauce
Log the complete dish, including sauce and other ingredients.
PRACTICAL CONTEXT
How cooked shrimp can fit different goals
There is no universal “good” or “bad” food. Portion, frequency, the rest of the meal, preferences and individual health needs all matter.
Portion math
At 119 kcal per 100 g, the 22 g example is 26.2 kcal.
Fibre check
The selected record lists 0 g fibre per 100 g.
Protein check
The selected record lists 22.8 g protein per 100 g.
Best logging move
Use edible cooked weight and choose a product label when additive or breading details are known.
QUALITY & SAFETY
How to choose, store and prepare it
Store
Keep raw and cooked shrimp properly chilled.
After opening or cooking
Keep raw seafood and its juices away from ready-to-eat foods.
Prepare
Use clean utensils for cooked shrimp and follow package allergen information.
Safety boundary
The nutrient record does not establish cooking or storage limits; follow current authoritative seafood-safety guidance.
PHOTO LOGGING
How to log cooked shrimp more accurately
A food photo can suggest the ingredient, but it cannot always reveal exact weight, hidden oil or preparation details. These checks turn an image guess into a better estimate.
- 01
Match the exact reference state: Crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, cooked, moist heat (may contain additives to retain moisture).
- 02
Use edible grams. Calories are scaled from the selected per-100-g record; named portion weights come from the same local USDA record.
- 03
Log oil, sauce, sweetener, salt and recipe ingredients separately.
- 04
Use a separate record when preparation changes the food state.
