"The cholesterol content of squid is higher than that of fat, but this statement is not rigorous." Yang Hong, Department of Nutrition, Haici Hospital, said that according to the data of the US Department of Agriculture, every gram of fresh squid (with a moisture content of 78.55%) contains 233 mg of cholesterol, and when it is replaced by dried squid with the same moisture content, the cholesterol content is about 849 mg. In contrast, 100 grams of pork (fat) contains cholesterol 109 mg, and fat meat contains 8.8% water, which is converted into dry weight of about 1 19.5 mg. In terms of cholesterol content, squid is much more than fat.

However, in terms of energy and fat, the energy of 100 grams of fresh squid is 92 kcal, and the energy of fat meat with the same weight is 632 kcal; The fat of fresh squid is about 1%, and the dry squid fat is only 5%, but the fat of fat meat (fresh weight) is as high as 88.6%. Although squid has less energy and fat than fat, it is suggested that patients with hypercholesterolemia and nephropathy should eat less because of its cholesterol and high protein.
