What it does
For the named reference food, USDA lists 111 kcal, 20.5 g protein and 0.84 g total fat per 100 g edible portion. The table gives additional nutrients for that same food form. These figures describe composition, not an effect on a disease or a recommended serving.
Research context and ingredient forms
Reference food: Mollusks, scallop, (bay and sea), cooked, steamed. These are historical SR Legacy data from the April 2018 release, published in FoodData Central in 2019. A different variety, preparation, water content, or commercial recipe can change the result. For a matching food, a portion estimate scales each value by edible portion grams divided by 100.
Using this information
The combined record covers the stated cooked food. Scallops prepared with butter, bacon, or a sauce need those additions included in a meal estimate.
