I eat it in 2.5 oz portions. thanks so much!!! Patti I work at a Costco... I know that the food court has a binder with all the nutritional info in it.. so I'd assume the deli does too. You can call and ask or knock on their window next time you are in. If they don't know.. you should be able to go to Costco.com and send a comment and get a response that way. Let me know if any of these methods help. (I wish they'd just put the stats on the packaging). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Susanne 32 Posted March 7, 2011 They once told me that there is a number on the sticker, and you can call costco and ask for the nutritional stats on the product using that code. And if you find out, please post a reply because I have been eyeing them for a while now and am just too lazy to do it, LOL On MFP, it says 194 calories for 4 oz.

Well, after about 6 phone calls, i had NO luck! even called corporate! They said that since they change things out in the deli so frequently they do not usually keep those stats on hand! WTH?? Any way, I'm just going to go with how many shrimps I'm eating and counts for about 1/2 tsp of olive oil. the rest is just seasonings so I think they are free foods anyway! that will at least give me an idea of the Protein and the calories!

Why not go with what it says on My Fitness Pal? Or is 194 richer than you bargained for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pattimomof3nj 21 Posted March 8, 2011 Why not go with what it says on My Fitness Pal? Or is 194 richer than you bargained for? Actually didn't know what the MFP was! I will go with that, it is way low, did it have the Protein count, I pretty much don't count the calories too much, I'm trying to get my Protein up! so if it is 194 for 4 oz, and i am only eating 2.5 oz per sitting, i'm really good!

I would have thought they would have been more helpful. Kind of disappointed Glad there is something comperable on mfp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use the Body Media food diary so that when I sync my arm band, it shows my how many calories i burned and ate in the same day! I just have to get more diligent at doing it!!!
