DIET LOBSTER?

To me, a boiled lobster is already a diet food. (114 calories for a 1 pounder) I melt 2 tbsp of butter to go with it and dip very lightly. Don't cover the whole piece in butter, just a bit of it. I also squeeze the juice of a lemon on to the lobster or into the butter. I find I use less butter that way. I normally only use about half of the butter and then record it as 1 tbsp used (104 cal). There is nothing so good a lobster dipped in butter. Enjoy your meal. It's always been my favorite.

We broil lobster tails and they are usually so sweet I don't even use butter. I also like to boil one to cut up in my salad. I want to find a slimmed down version of lobster bisque, just don't know if that's even possible! Enjoy.

Mmmm for the the price of lobster, I would just make it how I love it and fit it into my calories. All for the butter sauce!

Butter ruins lobster.

Just stick it your your mouth, chew, and, swallow.

Seriously. Don't over cook it and you won't have to bury it in grease.

steamed lobster tail is awesome, and low cal. i started swapping out cocktail sauce for the butter. not the best swap ever, but i tend to eat a lot of butter sauce.

I dilute my butter by at least 50% by adding lemon juice. This way I don't have to keep squeezing more lemon onto the lobster and I don't feel guilty about the butter since I'm not really using that much. Enjoy!

Some great ideas! I hadn,t thought about the butter spray. It has 0 calories and It works very well on corn on the cob. Why not on lobster? I will try it on my next lobster along with lemon juice. Thanks for the idea. That would really cut down on the calorie intake that could then be used for other yummy treats.

My favorite way to have lobster is to BBQ it. Basting with Lemon and garlic (and butter...). But you can totally do it without as well. It will still be fantastic. But regardless, I would say baste with the lemon and garlic. It adds so much flavor, less tempting to reach for all that hot butter.

I made baked lobster tails (for the first time EVER) for valentine's day last year- I did mine the healthy way, my boyfriend's not so much. His was covered in butter, garlic, and seasonings wrapped in foil and baked... He liked it, of course (he likes anything that incorporates butter and garlic). But mine, I sauteed some garlic in 2 tbs. olive oil until the oil absorbed the garlic flavor and poured that over the lobster tail, seasoned with some lemon and garlic/Italian seasoning and baked in foil. When it was finished, I gave it a couple spritzes of butter spray. Honestly, I thought it tasted better than my boyfriends version.

For the first time making them, both ways tasted great, but mine was WAY lower cal but super flavorful.

BUTTER SPRAY DOES NOT HAVE ZERO CALORIES!!!! It is zero "per serving" but... Here is a quote from the link below

"the whole bottle of Parkay Butter Spray actually contains 832 total calories from 93 grams of pure fat, without any nutrients."

Each spray has fewer than 5 calories. Settle down!

I had boiled lobster last week and I took a bottle of "I Can' t Believe it's Not Butter Spray" with me to test against the drawn butter. It seemed like a good idea but it turned out to be a very poor substitute for the butter. It would be OK in a pinch but I'll stick to butter and leave the spray for corn on the cob.
