Hungry Girl Today: 05.10.07
WEEKLY WEIGH-IN
It's National Shrimp Day, people. Read on for how (and how not!) to
celebrate...
Here are a boatload of reasons shrimp ROCK (not to be confused with ROCK
shrimp...tee hee):
*Shrimp are super-low in calories and fat but are packed with protein. A 4-
oz. serving of steamed or boiled shrimp has about 110 calories, 1g fat, and
close to 25 grams of protein (2 Points). They're also pretty much carb-free,
for those of you who count those.
*Shrimp are stocked with good-for-you vitamins and minerals: B12 to reduce
your risk of heart disease, selenium to protect against cancer, and vitamin D
for strong bones. They're also a good source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty
acids.
*They cook quickly, can be safely thawed and enjoyed after up to a month in
your freezer, and taste delicious, hot or cold, in dozens of different dishes --
from salads to stir-fries and everything in between! Go shrimp!
HG Heads Up! Shrimp are known to be a bit high in sodium and cholesterol,
but many health experts agree that their benefits outweigh these negatives.
Still, if you are sensitive to sodium or battling high cholesterol, please keep
this info in mind.
Shrimp Shockers!!!
Check out these shockingly diet-destructive shrimp dishes (these restaurants
should be VERY ashamed!):
Chevys Fresh Mex Juicy Shrimp Fajitas
(752 calories, 57g fat, 3,164mg sodium, 21g carbs, 5g fiber, 9g sugars, 40g
protein = 19 Points!)
Pay very close attention. The nutritional information above is for the sizzling
shrimp from their Juicy Shrimp Fajitas WITHOUT any tortillas, rice, sour
cream or guacamole -- not even that sweet little corn cake -- NADA! (The
shrimp are drowned in a skillet of Mexican butter before hitting your plate, in
case you're wondering how those freakish stats are even possible.) Once you
factor in three tortillas and those sides, your plate clocks in with around
1,500 calories, 90 fat grams and 37 Points! Ummm...gross! We recommend
requesting your shrimp without butter. Then top 'em with salsa, shredded
lettuce, pico de gallo and black beans to save hundreds of calories and
dozens of fat grams. Then splurge on that tasty sweet corn tomalito, which
has only 85 calories & 4 fat grams and packs a gram of fiber (2 Points).
P.F. Chang's Sriracha Shrimp Salad
(1,130 calories, 46g fat, 163g carbs, 29g protein = 26 Points!)
There's certainly no shortage of absurdly high-calorie shrimp selections
to "out" on the P.F. Chang's menu. But while we expect fried, honey-glazed
entrées and pan-fried, noodle-packed platters to pack a calorie wallop, we
found this simple shrimp salad's stats most surprising. Sriracha is a hot 'n
sweet sauce that's the basis of this salad's dressing; we think it's the combo
of that sugary salad dressing, the roasted pine nuts and the candied papaya
that do this dish in (who candies a papaya, anyway?). Fulfill a shellfish
craving at Chang's with some of their steamed Shrimp Dumplings (290
calories, 9g fat, 6 - 7 Points) or their surprisingly low-cal Cantonese Shrimp
(330 calories, 12g fat, around 7 Points), instead.
Romano's Macaroni Grill Shrimp Diavolo
(1,150 calories, 73g fat, 2,480mg sodium, 83g carbs, 8g fiber, 35g protein =
28 Points!)
The name says it all. The stats on this dish are the work of the devil! Again,
we'd expect a pasta dish with breaded brine and creamy sauce to be a
calorie catastrophe, but this one's sautéed in a simple tomato sauce. No fair!
If you find yourself at Macaroni Grill, save the shrimp (and yourself) and
order their awesome "Skinny Chicken" entrée (complete with steamed
veggies, fat-free feta and honey balsamic dressing for a mere 330 cals, 5 fat
grams and 6 Points!) instead.
