Posted on Dec 9th 2009 11:00AM by Bev SklarFiled Under: How Many Calories?, Diet & Weight Loss
Perusing appetizers on the menu usually means you'll be eating hundreds more calories with oodles of fat than if you just went straight to the main course. And once you've committed to that caloric kick-off, why not just order dessert, too? That's the usual order of events, unless your diet discipline is well-honed. But if you look closely, there are often healthier appetizers on menus, and you don't necessarily need to be a lettuce-loving rabbit to enjoy one.
As you sweep by the holiday party trays this season, do not skip over the jumbo shrimp cocktail. In fact, even when you slide into a booth at a chain restaurant, you should still consider a shrimp cocktail. How many calories in a jumbo shrimp cocktail at Red Lobster?
