How healthy and good for gains/protein is shrimp as a seafood?
My local fish store had a sale for $4.50 a pound on shrimp yesterday, I bought 6 pounds at that cheap a price and chucked them all in my freezer for the next month or so's meals.
If you can get it cheap, shrimp are great, great value for protein.
Unless you're allergic.

Yes but aside from allergies, is there any necessarily downsides to eating shrimp consistently?
And also are they a source of omega 3 fatty acids?
Easton Gray
As with other seafood, shrimp is high in calcium, iodine and protein but low in food energy. A shrimp-based meal is also a significant source of cholesterol, from 122 mg to 251 mg per 100 g of shrimp, depending on the method of preparation.[6] Shrimp consumption, however, is considered healthy for the circulatory system because the lack of significant levels of saturated fat in shrimp means that the high cholesterol content in shrimp actually improves the ratio of LDL to HDL cholesterol and lowers triglycerides.[7]
Shrimp are high in levels of omega-3s (generally beneficial) and low in levels of mercury (generally toxic),[8] with an FDA study in 2010 showing a level of 0.001 parts per million, analysing only methylmercury.[9]

i love shrimp, but too much will give me nuclear gas thatll strip the paint off the walls. something to remember too is that if shrimp is pink, its cooked and theres no need to cook it further beyond warming it up. otherwise you're left with a stringy/tough/unpleasant meal. if you're boiling raw shrimp, just boil it until it just turns pink, then cool it down with ice water.
i used to hate shrimp until i realized i had no idea how to cook it

>enjoy your returns
Shrimp are great - but you won't make any money on them
You only borrow them for a couple days...

Investments as in returns on gains and nutrition as consumed foods.

I wish that shit was cheaper here. People who live close to the sea must have it great.

Shrimp, Jasmine rice, and mixed vegetables (lima beans, broccoli, corn, peas, green beans) be a strong average meal to take for lunch ?
Nolan Young
do you actually shit out everything you eat and retain none of the nutrition? get yourself to a doctor bro
Some people are way too paranoid about mercury. Shrimp every day would be absolutely fine as they contain next to none. I eat a can of sardines and one of those foil packets of tuna every single day and have no problems. Seafood is GOAT protein and fatty acids.

>tfw eat fish and seafood basically daily
how fucked am I? If I switch to meat I also get fucked
If I only eat veggies I die from the pesticides
Eli Gutierrez
you are not fucked unless you eat like a kilo of tuna a day
Jack Moore
Were they frozen when you bought them?
Lucas Morris
It's a strong choice
Honestly i feel it does better in a tomato seafood pasta but that's obvs less portable
Gabriel Anderson
the lower on food chain the animal the less mercury it has guess where shrimps are
avoid eating too much shark and canned tuna fresh tuna out of smaller specimens are fine
i ate a fuckton of those for like 2 months and nothing happened
eventually got bored of it

I always add a few shrimp to my scrambled eggs in the morning along with the occasional tomatoes and pablanos. Amazing way to hit your protein goals on a cut
Jason Cox
I hate hearing all the mercury shit. I eat fish like 6 meals a week (talapia, salmon, tuna, shrimp).
Figure it can't be worse than what is in beef/pork/chicken
Noah Bell
Any of you got one of those easy as to cook recipe? I was sick this week and couldn't prep meals.

Let us know when you're 65 and developing signs of alzheimers

sardines are fine. tuna every day maybe isn't a good idea.
