Imitation crabmeat?
Just how (un)healthy is this stuff? They had a bowl of it at the salad bar in our cafeteria today, so I loaded some onto my salad. I asked myself, "How bad can it be?" Even if it's just white fish parts, fish is usually pretty lean and low fat and full of protein. I liken it to eating chunk white tuna. So how far off am I?
The salad bar also had hard boiled egg whites!
And they say hospital food sucks....

Good to hear. I was wondering the same thing the other day. I ordered tuna sashimi and my driver brought me California Rolls.

Real crabmeat is awesome, but I don't think they'll add it to our $4-a-plate salad bar. Originally Posted by Jodi

Imitation crabmeat or 'Seafood Extender' as it is known in the industry has very little seafood (if any) in it. Usually 5% or less of poor quality off cuts etc. It is a manufactured food consisting mainly of pig intestines primarily believe it or not. It has significant amounts of artifical colours and flavours added.

Most Imitation crabmeat is high in carbs and I doubt those carbs are good or natural.
I highly recommend all IronMagLabs supplements!

Foreman's right. There is pretty much a ratio of 1:1 of carbs to protein which isn't very good considering the source is fish.
