Sort of an inane question but here goes - but we are having lobster claws for lunch - when i look them up in MFP database, they are appx. 5oz = 125 calories - is this weight including the shell or is that just pure lobster meat w/o shell...

Thoughts?

    I would think that the 5oz is just the meat but I'm not 100% sure

    Nope, that's just for the meat. Weights are given for the edible part of the food, unless otherwise stated.

    Lol.

    I wouldn't count the shell because I'm not eating it.

    This... unless you like the shell... who knows what zombies like
