7 Calories in Horseradish and 10 Calories in Heinz Ketchup. Sooo, What I'm seeing is Shrimp and some cocktail sauce would be a good snack? Yes, no?

yes, but one shrimp is not much of a snack. And calories for shrimp vary by species and size. I think around 30 calories per ounce is average. That would make a pound of shrimp about 500 calories?

Shrimp is a great snack !

popcorn is good. celery with a little peanut butter. Sliced cheese and apple. I always have some Light and Fit Yogurt cups in the fridge, 80 calories each. and I often snack on canned tuna or some cold grilled chicken breast.

It's good protein except watch out for Cholesterol

Don't listen to this, eat those shrimp
But, yes It is a good source protein and iodine.

A human mother's breast milk contains cholesterol
Apparently that's unhealthy?
Cholesterol (and saturated fat) is vital to sustaining a healthy human body
Nature made it so.

Actually... you do need to watch for the cholesterol. I've suffered from high cholesterol have all my life and I'm currently seeing a specialist. For those with zero cholesterol problems, by all means eat up. But if you have issues or are predisposed to some, eat in moderation.

Cholesterol levels are not significant in most seafood products. Finfish are generally quite low in cholesterol, with shellfish having low to moderate amounts. In the past, shellfish have been excluded from low cholesterol diets because they were believed to be high in cholesterol. New sophisticated measuring techniques have indicated that cholesterol levels of many molluscan shellfish are much lower than previously thought. In fact, mollusks, such as clams, oysters, scallops, and mussels, were found to have a large percentage of noncholesterol sterols present that appear to have a positive effect. These sterols inhibit the absorption of cholesterol eaten at the same meal. Cholesterol levels in crustaceans such as crab and lobster are similar to levels found in the dark meat of chicken. While the cholesterol in shrimp varies considerably by species, it generally is 1-1/2 to 2 times higher than the cholesterol in the dark meat of chicken, but far less than in eggs. Because shellfish contain very little saturated fat, they are no longer excluded from typical low-cholesterol diets.

Again, seafood fits right in when trying to meet the U.S. dietary goal - reduce cholesterol consumption to about 300 milligrams a day. Fish averages about 50-90 milligrams cholesterol per 3.5 ounces. Shellfish tend to contain slightly higher amounts of cholesterol; crustaceans (crab, lobsters, and shrimp) contain 60-100 milligrams per 3.5 ounces and mollusks (clams, oysters, scallops) contain 40-110 milligrams per 3.5 ounces. Squid and octopus may contain relatively high levels, 250 and 122 milligrams per 3.5 ounces, respectively.

So, if your cholesterol is not a problem it should be ok. If it is an issue, be a bit more watchful of shrimp, like eggs, but you would have to eat a LOT of shrimp for it to be a real issue.

I second Popcorn, I swear by popcorn and hot sauce at night. Fiber One bars are great, eggs are only 70 calories each so, hard boiled or poached would be good. There are many 100 calorie snack paclks out there but Shrimp is fine, I would eat that.
