It's extremely healthy and low fat. It is great for dieting.

>>5738582
Awesome, I love the claws the most, I also really like going to work in the upper body. The liver and roe and all that stuff tastes great.

Also the white protein that comes out when it cooks, that tastes good too.

I fucking love lobster, crab too.

stop looking for "healthy foods" to eat to lose weight

you're looking for food to eat... to lose weight

you should already be eating healthy food, just less of it

not putting butter on your lobster isn't going to make you lose weight if you eat too many calories of lobster

There's no such thing as healthy and unhealthy food. Food is food. Something unhealthy for consumption is not food.

Calories is calories, plain and simple. Everything in moderation is good. Everything in excess is bad.

I got lobster that cheap once. Only once. :-(
I bought only one. It was a pretty small one, only a pound and a half or so.
I brought it home, split in half while it was still alive, scooped out the meat and boiled the shell and head to make lobster broth then used that to make a roux-thickened curry. Made a light roux, compounded it with curry powder, freshly pasted ginger, garlic and chilies, minced onion and a itty bitty bit of powdered baby prawns.
Added the stock, brought it to the boil seasoned to taste and added some pearl onions, frozen broad beans and a few ears of frozen baby and immediately lowered the heat to maintain a simmer.
Finally, I added the lobster meat and poached it in the curry.
De-fuckin-licious.

You're retarded

>>5738683
You're also retarded, eating 1000 calories of potato chips or french fries is not the same as eating 1000 calories of broccoli. Nutrition is a key factor.

>>5738688
>compounded it
>itty bitty
>a few ears of frozen baby
good lord!

>>5738699
potato chips aren't food, that's junk food

potatoes aren't just pure starch, they have nutrition

why can't i have good quality french fries and broccoli? why does it have to be one or the other? don't most people eat more than one food for a meal?

you fat sweaty retard, fuck you

>>5738700
>frozen baby
Ha! I forgot to put in the word 'corn' immediately after!
Frozen. Baby. Corn. Om nom nom.

>>5738704
hur hur junk food is still food though

No, you're the fat, sweaty retard, who is trying to justify your shitty diet by saying there is no such thing as bad food. A thousand calories worth of potatoes, or a thousand calories worth of red meat, or a thousand calories of bread will make you fat, I'm telling you right now. The whole point of eating healthy is to get away from consuming carbohydrates such as bread, pasta, wheat, etc.

Red meat is fine in moderation, but you'll be a lot healthier eating seafood and poultry. Green vegetables, berries, and other low carbohydrate, low sugar, fruits and vegetables are a lot better for you, and one will lose weight much faster.

Kill yourself.

mmmmm lobster

>>5738730
>hur hur junk food is still food though
No wonder you're fat.

>>5738730
wow don't even know what your ranting about what a punk bitch u r hope u die 1st

>>5738737
I'm implying that is the person who I replied to.

Technically, junk food is food if it's just calories in vs calories out, according to the faggot who originally said that.

>>5738730
junk food isn't food, it's something you should only eat because you like the taste of it

i'm not even fat, you're obese

i eat potatoes, sweet potatoes, and homemade bread all the time

i also eat dairy!

but i also eat berries, green vegetables, fresh fruits, and a ton of vegetables

in fact, i just grated carrots and cucumbers, and garlic to make a fermented vegetable coleslaw last night!

i can just handle eating high calorie foods with fat in moderation without making myself become obese

like you, because you're obese. fuck you.

>>5738748
I'm not obese, you fucking idiot.

Good for you, you still have to eat healthy to not be fat. You just said it's calories in vs calories out, but it's not that way because as you just said, junk food will make you fat. Therefore, you need to eat healthy to lose or maintain weight.

Holy fuck you are retarded.

>>5738752
you are quite obese

it's not just calories in and calories out, your body needs more than just pure calories, and junk food doesn't have much more than that

eating healthy doesn't mean avoiding entire food groups, that's fucking retarded

OP here, can you two or three shut the fuck up?

>>5738688
That sounds really good, I might make some stock for myself, sometimes I just like stock with the meat, be it chicken or beef or whatever. I haven't had soup in forever.

>>5738761
>wahh people other than me posted in my thread

>>5738761
>OP here, can you two or three shut the fuck up?
no, you were already told to stop eating processed junk food, which is the biggest thing you need to stop doing

make the rest of your meals up of a balance of the food groups, don't go looking for specific foods to eat and DON'T OVEREAT AND ONLY EAT WHEN YOU'RE ACTUALLY HUNGRY

and guess what? that healthy delicious recipe uses ROUX, WHICH HAS BUTTER OR OIL

>>5738766
No you faggots are fighting over the stupidest shit, talk about lobster or get the fuck out.

>>5738752
But that's not true. You could literally eat 1500kcal of fries/chips each day for thirty days and nothing else and so long as you've got a BMR at or above 1800, you'll lose 1kg in a month.
1800 BMR is about normal for most human males of average height, weight and fitness. It doesn't matter if you eat 1500kcal of broccoli or 1500kcal of bread or 1500kcal of a balanced diet or 1500kcal of deep fried pig's dicks: you will still lose weight.

Being thin is not the end all of health, though. It really isn't. The fact remains, though, for most people in the western world, losing weight would greatly improve health simply because of the extreme stress being overweight brings to the human body.

>>5738766
2 retards slinging shit at each other.

>>5738730
This should be a sticky and I don't even want a sticky. I would change my position on stickies just for this.

>>5738758
also the lobster head has more fat, which is going into the stock

>>5738769

>>5738773
>my person opinion deserves to be a sticky
fuck off

>>5738675
It's hard to overeat on lobster or any seafood. A big ass lobster/shrimp/crab meal from red lobster is only like 600 calories and I usually almost feel like I can't eat the whole thing.

>>5738780
it's harder to overeat on anything that isn't junk food

>>5738779
A 1 1/2 pound lobster has 1g of fat in the entire thing.

The same lobster is 171 calories, with 36g of protein.

Lobster is among the healthiest of foods.

>>5738784
>Lobster is among the healthiest of foods.
maybe for animal foods... any real animal foods aren't bad

you need more than protein though, and you need fat in your diet

>>5738792
So eat two lobsters, throw in some nuts to snack on during the day, have some fruits and vegetables.

It isn't that hard to figure out.

>>5738796
i never said it was hard to figure out, tentflap

my point was is that saying lobster is a super healthy food is stupid

you're supposed to be eating food in combination with other foods for every meal

you need to stop thinking of food items as healthy on their own, they need to be eaten with other things

you can swap out the lobster for a portion of any other animal product and as long as the rest of the food you're eating is healthy, you'll be healthy

trying to lose weight by avoiding entire food groups is NOT THE PROPER WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT

>>5738597
I don't think I have had the liver before. But yea, crab, lobster, burgers, steaks, potatoes, broccoli, and citrus fruits are my favorite foods. Shellfish is actually something I only got into a few years ago.

>>5738812
Oh my bad

Spinach is ONLY HEALTHY if you also eat it with tomatoes

holy fuck you're dumb

>>5738812
>tentflap
Lolwut. I've never heard this insult before. Is it Canadian?

>>5738812
Actually, avoiding high calorie food groups can help you lose weight.

>>5738818
The liver is the green colored stuff in the thorax, could be strong for some but I always liked it even growing up.

One other favorite food of mine is soft shell crab. You can eat the entire thing basically, shell and all, it's incredible.

>>5738832
I think it might be a polite way of saying cuntflap

So yes you're probably correct about it being canadian

>>5738699
>1000 calories of potato chips
>1000 calories of broccoli
Broccoli is more toxic than potato at that serving.

Moderation is key. Moderation vary from food to food.

>>5738889
No it fucking isn't. Broccoli has no toxicity.

>>5738896

Everything is toxic at some level.

>>5738918
Cool youtube proof bruh.

>>5738923
>it's on youtube therefore it's false
Check the source

>>5738838
green shit is the best part. mix it into lobster rolls if you're making them.

>>5738896
>Broccoli has no toxicity.

Incorrect. Most things that we consider "nutrients" are toxic at some level. Vitamin A, for example, is essential for health. However, eating too much of it can cause hypervitaminosis A, which can be fatal. The same is true with iron. Iron poisoning is a common cause of death of young children. Broccoli contains both iron and vitamin A. Therefore it is possible (though very unlikely) to poison yourself from eating too much of it.

That being said, it's really one of those things that's technically true but unlikely to happen in reality. You'd have to eat an absurd amount of it to be toxic. Though some foods are so vitamin-dense that they can cause sickness quite easily. Cod liver oil contains a ton of vitamin A. As does the livers of many arctic animals like seals or polar bears.

>>5738828
if you eat only spinach forever... you're going to have deficiencies in something, asshole
>>5738832
>Is it Canadian?
yes
>>5738836
actually, not overeating can help you lose weight.

actually, avoiding food groups can make you gain weight.

actually, eating small portions of high calorie food is perfectly fine.

>>5738575
Daily reminder that if you like lobster or crab, then you'll like the "meat" of land insects as well.

>>5739728
ive eaten both and its not nearly the same flavor or texture wise

>>5738575 There's nothing better than crab stuffed lobster tails. SO Good!
