Im really getting sick of chicken breast, tuna is makin me sick each time i eat it and im about to cut beed out. Im just lookin to switch it up in the protein department.

Thanks.

HAHAHA LOL I think I know what you mean hehe.. Weel, you can also get your pro from everything in the sea - and milk products - but this is the first time I've ever heard of this about shrimps.. I think you should buy a cooking book espacially made to BB. I think u can find some thing in those book or else try to seach the web - very sure u will find something

Shrimps are great....especially with garlic and a little low sodium soya sauce.

Great protein source and there's little evidence to suggest dietary cholesterol will raise blood cholesterol. It's a nice switch up from time to time.

Shrimp is goodness.

thanks guys,... what about prawns? same as shrimp? assuming it falls in the same category. eat 1 - 1.5 grams per lb of body weight of any kind of lean meat correct?

Yeah, the majority of cholesterol is not of dietary origin, but synthesized within our bodies, so you need not worry too much about it; unless of course you have a family history of high cholesterol.

Mmmmm.....shrimp. I've having some tonight. I spice them up with cayenne pepper, paprika, black pepper, and coat them in a little olive oil and lemon juice, then throw them into a grill basket and grill 'em. Served over brown rice. MMmmMMMM!

I know how you feel. She obviously left out dog! What about our Chinese members!!!

LALALALALLALALALLALAL I don't hear you.

No way would I ever eat puppies, kitties, kangaroos or ponys.

shrimp is really good for burning fat and building muscle. aside from the protein shrimp is a negative calorie food, which means you burn calories just by eating it.

There's no such thing as a negative calorie food. Celery, contrary to popular belief, isn't negative calorie, either.

And shrimp is great, it's just quite expensive.

"Hey Foreman (I mean Forest)!...you ever been on a shrimp boat?"

I had coconut shrimp the other night and it is awesome

Live shrimp is great

Kangaroo
