net the best

You know by now one of my favorite choices is any kind of seafood. I found this comparison on steamed shrimp verse the fried selections which was a real eye-opener. Sometimes we may be tempted to choose the one we "want" verses the one we "should", but after seeing the numbers, the choice is easier.

Making the right choices help you feel better in more ways that one...eating too much fat can make you feel like you swallowed a brick, and cause dumping. Serving sizes that stay around 5 grams of fat are the safest.

Get creative when serving and it's sure to taste better...just feast your eyes on this!


4 ounces steamed shrimp with lemon 112 calories,  0 carbs, 1 fat


4 ounces steamed shrimp with 2 tablespoons cocktail sauce 142 calories,  8 carbs, 1 fat


4 ounces fried shrimp with 2 tablespoons tartar sauce 369 calories,  24 carbs, 22 fat
