Did you know that Maine lobster is awesomely nutritious for you?! It is!
Very low in calories, (142 in a cup of lobster meat) and very high in selenium, Vitamin B12, potassium, zinc…. this is a major mood booster food.
Straight-up steamed lobster (sans butter, which for a lobster-lover like me is practically unthinkable), is super-low in fat; it’s almost fat-free. If you’re really avoiding fats, try cider vinegar with it — that’s what got me started on this post, reading a friend’s comment on Facebook that that’s what he’s going to do tonight. I’ve never tried it, and seriously can’t imagine it, so if you do, or have, please leave a message in the comments section below telling us what you think of it.
So, the next time you’re feeling a little down-in-the-dumps, improve your mood and your waistline with a delicious steamed lobster.
Caveat emptor: lobsters collect mercury and other heavy metals in their bodies, especially in the tamale, the green stuff. Don’t eat the green stuff, ever. Also best to buy a larger number of smaller lobsters, because they have smaller amounts of toxins. But still don’t eat the green stuff.
Lobster-Buying Tip: This lobster afficionado prefers soft-shell lobsters to hard-shell. They’re easier to get the meat out of, they’re sweeter, and more tender. Enjoy!
