Looking for a Healthy Meal? Try Fresh Lobster!
When you’re on a diet, it can be maddening trying to get the nutrients you need, and still lose weight. One of the hardest things is trying to find a lean protein that’s good for you, and that you like to eat. Tofu is always an option, but isn’t the same as meat. Red meat isn’t an option of course, but chicken gets tiring, after a while. And fish has been reported to have high mercury levels, meaning you shouldn’t eat it every day. So what protein can you enjoy? How about some fresh lobster!
Many of us have long believed that lobster is bad for you. It tastes so great, and feels so deliciously indulgent, that eating it must be cheating. In fact, this just isn’t true. Lobster, at 90 calories per three and a half ounces, is actually better for you than other protein rich meats, like steak and even chicken. This means that including lobster in your diet is, unbelievably I know, a great way to get trim and stay healthy while doing it. Fresh lobster is a must add protein to your meals.
It may be hard to swallow that lobster is good for you, when all of the information you’ve seen in the past is that it’s unhealthy. But the fresh lobster meat itself has always been healthy, it’s simply the way that it’s been prepared that hasn’t fit a dieters lifestyle. By dipping fresh lobster in butter, the calorie and fat count of course goes up. And there is a lot of fat in a creamy soup like a lobster bisque. But when prepared, a lobster is steamed, meaning the meat itself is free from oils and fats.
Lobster is not only a low calorie food, it’s also good for your heart health. Like many other crustaceans and types of fish, lobster is high in heart healthy omega three fatty acids. These fatty acids help to promote the healthy of your heart, and are recommended by doctors. Many other food producers are even adding them to their products like milk! Fresh lobster is a great way for you to get the benefits of omega three’s in a natural way. it’s also a great source of protein to keep your energy up on long days.
How can you enjoy fresh lobster in a healthy way? Lobster makes a great addition to a salad, in chunks, it’s rich taste is a wonderful way to use less dressing and add a kick to what you’re eating. You can also try a few pieces on a slice of quality bread, like rye or pumpernickel, to mix the strong flavors. For dinner, try some whole wheat pasta dressed with a little oil and some lobster meat. It’s sure to be an instant family favorite.
