Calories and Fat

A bowl full of meat from a soft shell crab that is cooked in low and consistent heat has enormous calories and fat. While it will produce about 112 calories, it will come with a gram of fat as well. While it is true that it is not a hefty amount of calorie for a high-protein entrée, it is also true that crap is not a very filling choice, as it does not come up with fibre.

A meal, including this dish, would need some additional sources, so much so that it will be able to satisfy the traditional recommendation that says, a person should consume 14 g of fibre vis-à-vis every thousand calories consumed.

The Protein Content

While it is almost a thumb rule that people should consume 0.8 g of Protein for each kilogram of body weight, soft shell crabs that you will find in Thai Food Restaurant In Mornington would have 106 calories, and about 20 kg of Protein in per 100-gram serving.

Other Components

In the serving of a soft shell crab that weighs 65 grams, 13 grams will come in the form of protein, another 13 grams as fat and 11 grams as carbohydrates.  The rest are indigestible materials, some other nutrients and of course, water.

Other Nutrients

A singular soft shell crab also comes up with a string of highly essential vitamins, including vitamin B6 and B12m, E and K, riboflavin, folate, niacin, and thiamin. It also comes with a lot of dietary minerals, and they include iron, calcium, magnesium, copper, selenium, potassium, zinc and phosphorus.

Other considerations

Soft shell crab is highly rich in cholesterol as well. It will serve 79 mg of cholesterol or about 26 per cent of the daily-recommended level of cholesterol intake.
