    Default Prawns as a protein source

    Hi guys -

    Just a quick question, I was looking at the back of a packet of prawns yesterday, and all the stats seem pretty good, but I cant help but notice not many use them as a source of protein - am I missing something?

    Cheers
    Matt

    Personally I can't stomach prawns, they do horrible things to my guts! I'll only eat king prawns in a curry. Its prob the quantity you'd have to eat to get enough protein, price and there not as versatile as chicken, beef or fish.

    Im going to have them for my dinner as i love 'em. I dont think there is a problem with them mate, its just the fact they are regarded as being relatively expensive for the amount of protein you get, which is roughly 15g per 100g, whis far inferior to other food sources.
