I had someone tell me that shrimp is REALLY high in cholesterol.
Does anyone have the nutritional information so that I can give it to this person? I always thought that shrimp was really good for you.

THanks

Shrimp is rather high in cholesterol, but if you're active at all, the benefits are significant....here's a link to the best nutritional site I've seen...

Doesn't matter - dietary cholesterol does NOT affect blood cholesterol levels.

Shrimp is very good for you just as any other crustations.

A few of these links are already in the sticky at the top of the forum called Guide to Cutting etc.

There are about 3 different sites linked to look up food databases.

I heard the bad cholosterol comes from consuming excessive amount of sugar and fats together.. is this true?

The price of shrimp has come down too. I got 2 4 lb bags for less than the cost of chix breast per lb. And it was shelled, and deveined. Just grab a handful, and put it in the cooler to be microwaved at work. It's about the fastest meal preperation I've seen yet.

I like shrimp at room temp. Now thats easy, Take big bag out of freezer, let defrost, eat

I ran out of already cooked chicken breast, so I figured I'd change it up. I took your advice with the horseradish and ketchup, even added a little hot sauce for a zip, and i'm loving it.

Thanks guys, what an afternoon snack.

OK, so what does give you high blood cholesterol? Is it like the other guy said, sugar and fat? Please elaborate.

I'm coming in the gym, i'm coming at home, i'm coming in front of 25,000 people...it's fantastic!

Dietary cholesterol has very little impact on your blood cholesterol levels. So, as it was said, you can eat eggs and shell fish without too many concerns in regards to the cholesterol levels (especially if your blood cholesterols are normal). Sure - if you already have high cholesterol then you might not want to go overboard on dietary sources, but you can still enjoy the odd egg yolk or some shrimp.

Cholesterol levels are largely dictated by your genetics. Also, things such as inactivity and poor metabolic health (insulin resistance, glucose intolerance and hyperinsulinaemia) as well as dietary factors such as high intakes of high-fructose corn syrup and high levels of saturated fats and trans-fats will cause problems in your lipid levels.

But, just to let you know, although diet doesn't really raise cholesterol, there are foods that help lower cholesterol - the healthy fats (omega-3 fats and mono-unsaturated fats), soluble fibre (oat bran, legumes, vegetables etc) and some of the phyto-chemicals and anti-oxidants in fruits and vegetables (eg: blueberries)...

So just make sure you get enough of these in your diet, make sure you limit the corn syrup and unhealthy fats and maintain a good exericse routine and (as long as your genetics are on your side) you really shouldn't have any concerns.
