Shrimp: The Fit Fish
Shrimp is about 90 calories per 3-ounce serving with virtually no fat. Shrimp is packed with protein making it a great diet food. It may even help prevent heart disease, thanks to astaxanthin, the antioxidant that gives the fish a slightly red tint.
A recent study found that eating 1 cup of shrimp daily can raise your good cholesterol level. Shrimp is also rich in cancer-fighting selenium and bone-building vitamin D.
