Lobster, boiled

Lobster is a type of shellfish. The figures here describe lobster boiled in fresh water. It mainly provides protein, with 22g per 100g, and contains 1.6g of fat. It also provides minerals, including 100µg of iodine per 100g. Its salt content is 0.83g per 100g, despite being boiled without added salt.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Iodine is needed to make thyroid hormones, which help regulate the body's metabolism. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Added butter or sauces can change the fat, salt and energy content of a meal. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
