What's wrong with shrimp? Is it unhealthy?

breakfast omelet:
3/4 cup of eggwhites
1/2 onion
1/2cup spinach
like 4 oz of turkey breast
1 slice nonfat cheese(35calories)

for lunch, ill have oatmeal (150calories), and greek yogurt(80calories)

for dinner, we're going out to eat, so I'll have the grilled shrimp/chicken salad with no dressing, and a variety of fruit.

does this sound okay for today? advice?

and I was told to stay away from shrimp!?!? I thought it was healthy! Whats wrong with shrimp? does it slow weight loss?

Answer on What's wrong with shrimp? Is it unhealthy?

All things in moderation.
Have some shrimp. Just not everyday.
A great protein source like eggs.
But like eggs, too much can elevate cholesterol levels.
Make sure they are CLEAN. That is the challenge to eating shrimp.
Most of the shrimp served in the US now comes from Asia and there standards aren't the same as ours.
I'm sure you should have no problem at a quality establishment.
