Octopus (Alaska Native) - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Octopus (Alaska Native)

• Metabolic Effect: Packing 12.3g of lean protein per 100g, this seafood choice fires up your thermogenic rate while the 4.9mg of iron supports vital oxygen transport to your muscles. I frequently recommend it to my clients because its low fat content of 0.8g makes it an exceptional tool for maintaining lean mass during weight loss.
• Consumption Tip: With only 56 calories per serving, I suggest grilling or poaching your octopus with fresh herbs instead of frying to keep the calorie count low. Pair it with a Vitamin C-rich citrus salad to enhance the absorption of its 35mg calcium content for better bone support.
• What to Watch For: While the 41mg of cholesterol is relatively modest, I advise those monitoring their lipid profiles to keep an eye on portion sizes. Since this Alaska Native variety is naturally sodium-free, be careful not to over-salt during preparation to maintain its heart-healthy benefits.
• Exercise Equivalent: You can burn off the 56 calories from a 100g portion with just a quick 12-minute brisk walk around the block. Its zero-carb profile makes it a perfect post-workout snack to aid muscle recovery without adding unnecessary energy surplus.
