I'll get the ball rolling here since I have been curious about a food I am thoroughly enjoying and believe to be something I could/should be eating.... tako poke. The seafood place I get it from uses a very high grade Japanese tako cut into perfect little bite-sized pieces. I am not sure of the seasoning... it's a kim chee sauce, but I can't believe that the small amount that is used could be harmful or unhealthy.
Do you have any nutritional information for me on this? I figured it HAS to be mostly protein, but would love an expert opinion for a little piece of mind.
My second question is regarding protein drinks/shakes. I see some people post that their doctor prefers they get their protein from "real food" rather than the protein drinks/shakes. I was never a person who could eat in the morning. Even at a year out, I still enjoy using a protein bullet mixed in my 20 oz. bottle of SF Cool Aid that I drink throughout the morning while at work. I get a portion of my protein and fluids in that way. Is there anything wrong with this type of protein consumption?

Aloha Hawaii patients! Here is your chance to ask Amy Ingols, our registered dietitian your nutrition questions!
Dr. Cirangle thought it would be nice to have our registered dietitian, Amy, do a Q&A once a week for our Hawaiian patients. The food culture is different than California, so we thought this made sense.
Once a week, Amy will post "Ask Amy" and you can ask questions by replying to the post. Please remember that this is strictly for nutritional education, and should no way replace your physician's directions.
Cheers,
Nicole
