% DV refers to how much a single serving of an individually packaged food or supplement contributes nutritionally to your daily diet, based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. Generally, having 5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is considered low, and 20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is considered high.
Fat Composition
The suggested total fat consumption should be limited to 30% of total energy intake or less. The type of fat consumed should primarily be unsaturated fatty acids, with no more than 10% of total energy intake coming from saturated fatty acids (about 200 calories on a 2000-calorie diet) and no more than 1% of total energy intake coming from trans-fatty acids.

📚 Health Research & Evidence About This Food
Shrimp is a nutritious shellfish, providing a low-calorie, high-protein profile rich in essential nutrients such as iodine, selenium, phosphorus, and vitamin B12, along with potassium, zinc, magnesium, and the antioxidant astaxanthin. Observational evidence suggests it supports weight management by increasing satiety and heart health due to its low saturated fat and omega-3 fatty acids, with Harvard Health noting its dietary cholesterol has only a modest effect on blood cholesterol as the liver adjusts its own cholesterol production. However, research also identifies tropomyosin as a specific protein that is a clinically relevant allergen, capable of triggering reactions in both atopic and nonatopic individuals.
