Every figure is computed from the two foods' USDA values, rounded as printed above. A difference is stated only when it is at least 10% of the larger value and clears a small minimum for the nutrient, so tiny gaps are not dressed up as findings.
Our take
Cooked shrimp shows more calories and protein per 100 g than raw shrimp, a gap that reflects cooked weight against raw weight rather than a different food. Log the shrimp in the state you weighed it.
Raw and cooked values describe different things. Cooking changes how much water a food holds, so the same weight of cooked food carries a different amount of calories and protein than the same weight of raw. Log a food in the state you weighed it.
