Is Salmon Good for Weight Loss?
Salmon can fit into a weight loss diet when portions are controlled. At 208 calories per 100g, it is calorie-dense, so measuring portions helps keep intake in check. Salmon is high in protein (20g per 100g), which supports satiety and helps preserve muscle during a deficit. It is low in carbs, making it easy to pair with vegetables and other foods. For best results, combine salmon with plenty of vegetables and a sustainable calorie target from a calorie calculator or calorie deficit calculator.
