Shrimp - yay or nay?

[slackerinabox]

I recently started eating healthy and cut red meat and chicken out of my diet, since I adore the stuff so much moderation's very tricky. Went out to dinner for my sister's birthday tonight and skipped the porterhouse and instead got a skewer of broiled shrimp - to my shock, even with accounting for some butter and such, fitday clocks the total calories for the shrimp (8 large shrimp, flame broiled) as less than 100 calories. So I had a filling meal at a restaurant for less than 200 calories counting the 1/2 baked potato (without butter).


SOOOOO... I think I found a new low calorie food to love, but should I worry about the cholesterol in it? I'm only 26 and my dad has a history of high chol. but my mom does not. Doesn't seem like I should worry but, really, should I? I'm not going to eat the stuff every day but it's tasty and I don't really feel like I'm "dieting" when eating it

There is not a 100% correlation between cholesterol consumed and cholesterol in your blood. Genetics, trans fats, and the amount of exercise you get play bigger roles.

So, yay, yea, and yeah.

Don't they have an Aussie board for all you people down there? You have to infect our boards with your Aussie drivel? You are lucky your toilet water rotates the opposite way of ours...or i'd have to come down there and give you a swirly.

(no, that wasn't supposed to make sense)

It was much much longer, but i made it smaller when someone asked...it appears to have grown somewhat again...

Give me a sec.

With all due apologies to our aussie bretheren... prawns are just over-grown shrimp... an excuse for restaurants to bring three of the critters to your table instead of 'all you can eat.'

😉

 

[pyonir]

prawns...shrimp...whatever. They all suck so it doesn't matter. 😀
