Looking for a Healthy Meal? Try Fresh Lobster!

If like many of us, you’re on what can seem like a perpetual diet, it can be difficult to stay healthy. One of the hardest things is finding a protein that you like that isn’t bad for you. No one wants to eat tofu every day, and red meat has been out for years. You can only eat so much chicken, and now even fish is becoming unsafe, with high levels of mercury. Where is a dieter to turn when all they really want is to spice things up? Surprisingly, and deliciously, you can turn to 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.

Much of the reason that people have felt that fresh lobster was unhealthy is because of traditional preparations. When you think of lobster, you think of a heavy, creamy bisque, or dredging it in drawn butter. And of course, adding these fats to any protein makes it unhealthy, the same would be true for any fish prepared in oil or butter, or chicken and steak pan fried. But lobster on its own is actually quite good for you. It is prepared by steaming, which takes away many of the oils and fats often used in preparing other meats, which is an added healthy bonus.

Lobster is healthy for many reasons, but did you know that fresh lobster meat is a great source of omega three fatty acids. This is something you may have been hearing more about lately. Omega three’s are naturally found in many types of shellfish and other fish. They are thought by doctors to help promote and improve your heart health, so much so that they’re now being added to many other foods. Fresh lobster is a great way to get them naturally. It’s also a great source of protein to keep your energy high.

There are many great ways for you to enjoy lobster in a healthy way. If you love salad, try adding a few chunks of lobster. This is a great way to add flavor and texture, get some protein, and not add a lot of calories to a healthy meal. Lobster also goes great with any strong flavored bread. If you’re stuck for dinner, why not try some simple and classic pasta and oil. Simply use whole wheat pasta, dress it sparingly, and add some lobster to give it a great flavor that family and friends will love.

Are you ready to ditch the chicken and bring in the fresh lobster? I know I am! Fresh lobster is a great and healthy alternative to boring, tired old menus, so spice up your dinner tonight!
