Tag: Eating frogs

With a long history as a delicacy in French and Asian cuisines, frogs' legs are an increasingly common sight in global food markets. This has led many to question: is eating frogs good or bad for you? While amphibian meat offers significant nutritional benefits, it also presents serious health risks if not sourced and prepared correctly.

While a 100-gram serving of raw frog legs contains approximately 73 calories, mostly from protein, the question of how many calories are in frogs alive is unanswerable. A live, conscious creature cannot have its caloric content measured, a process which requires chemical analysis and, ultimately, destruction of the sample.
