Lobster, boiled, weighed with shell

Lobster is a shellfish, and these figures describe boiled lobster weighed with its shell. Per 100g of this shell-on weight, it provides 8g of protein, 0.6g of fat, 19µg of selenium and 36µg of iodine. The weight includes the shell, which is not normally eaten, so these values should not be read as figures for the same weight of lobster meat alone.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Selenium contributes to normal immune function, while iodine is needed to make thyroid hormones, which help regulate metabolism. Added butter, sauces or salt can change the fat, energy and salt content of a meal. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
