Canned blue mussels nutrition: calories, protein and portion sizes

Reference preparation: blue mussels, canned in water. The exact source name is “Mussel in water, canned” (Fineli food 834). Available carbohydrate excludes fiber and is not the same measure as US Total Carbohydrate.

Values are rounded after scaling. A small reported amount may round below 0.1 g; a missing value is marked Not available rather than treated as zero. This selected extract does not include sugar, sodium or micronutrient amounts; the full Fineli database contains information beyond these tables.

Use edible mussel meat and check the can's drained-weight instructions. Mussels weighed with shells cannot use the same gram-based entry. Smoked mussels in oil and mussels in cream sauce are separate products.

For the 100 g example, multiply the source amounts by 100 ÷ 100 = 1. The unrounded energy calculation is 81.2 × 1 = 81.2 kcal, displayed as approximately 81 kcal. Use the same factor for protein, available carbohydrate, fat and fiber.

For another amount, replace 100 with your own edible weight. Keep the preparation as blue mussels, canned in water; if your food is prepared differently, choose a matching reference or calculate its recipe instead.

For a shell-on dish, measure the edible meat when practical or keep the edible-yield assumption visible. Sauce and bread belong in the meal total. This table does not estimate iron, B12 or other micronutrients that are absent from the source extract.

Use these combinations as menu ideas and adjust the amounts to your appetite and preferences. Each added ingredient belongs in the complete meal estimate.

The following are separate reference foods, shown per 100 g for orientation. Check the preparation column: dry, raw and cooked values are not interchangeable, and equal gram weights are not necessarily equivalent portions.
