Shrimp ****tail Question
So shrimp ****tail is one of my fave post-WLS foods. So much protein packed into so few calories. :) However, everywhere I look it seems to tell me that 6 medium ****tail shrimp only equal out to approx. 35 calories. Myfitnesspal, google, etc. I'm looking for opinions/facts - is this really true?? I just can't believe it is true, although it would be nice if it is. Thoughts everyone?
Thanks!
Shrimp is low in calories, between 4 and 10 calories each depending on size and around 1 gram of protein each. Just be careful of the ****tail sauce. I know where I work at we make ours with a chili sauce or ketchup base so it's loaded with sugar, you just don't realize it because of all the horseradish and hot sauce that is added. A simple squeeze of lemon over the shrimp would be a good alternative, of if you like the heat just add a few splashes of hot sauce.
