Is seafood considered meat?

Question

The only reason im asking this is because after my doctors blood test it says that my protein level or whatever was a little high and i should stay away from meat or something. Even though i don't eat a lot of meat..i am just taking it into consideration.

I know chicken,beef,pork and like all that is considered meat but what about seafood? I don't mean like fish. I mean like scalops

Answer 1

Yes

If it was part of a living creature, it's meat.

The question is whether or not your doctor was talking about things like scallops when he said to stay away from meat.

Answer 2

yes. what else is it, a vegetable?

Answer 3

I would consider anything from animal flesh meat, that would include fish and scallops.

Answer 4

Fish and seafood is not considered meat.

Answer 5

It is still meat. It, like chicken and pork, is just not considered red meat.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Seafood is high in Iodine and sometimes Mercury.  NOT protein.

Protein comes from beef, cheese and dairy products. Too much seafood can cause Gout..very painful.
