Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Shrimp

  • Metabolic Effect: Shrimp provides a feeling of fullness and supports muscle development thanks to its high protein content. Its low calorie content also helps with weight control.
  • Consumption Recommendation: It is recommended to consume it by grilling, steaming, or boiling. It can be consumed with a salad with plenty of greens.
  • Things to Consider: Since the cholesterol content is high, those with cholesterol problems should pay attention to their portions. One serving of shrimp contains approximately the same amount of protein as 3 meatballs.
  • Exercise Equivalent: It will be enough to take a brisk walk for about 20 minutes to burn the calories you get from one serving of shrimp.
