However, according to the Maine Lobster Marketing Collaborative, lobster has less calories, less total fat and less cholesterol (based on 100 grams of cooked product) than lean beef; whole poached eggs; and even roasted, skinless chicken breast. It\u00a0is also high in amino acids; potassium and magnesium; Vitamins A, B12, B6, B3 (niacin) and B2 (riboflavin); calcium and phosphorus; iron; and zinc.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-691 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/theworldsbestwalks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/20140813_133047-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"20140813_133047\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"http:\/\/theworldsbestwalks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/20140813_133047-300x168.jpg 300w, http:\/\/theworldsbestwalks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/20140813_133047-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Must be true because\u00a0lobster doesn&#8217;t stick with you long. After a nice walk, I find myself having to reach for a nice ice cream chaser. \u00a0I must not be alone because there are many tempting flavors to choose from in Maine. I prefer the native blueberry myself.<\/p>\n<p>But I digress. Best walk in Kennebunkport? The one on Ocean Drive that takes you to the Bush compound, as in Presidents 41 and 43.\u00a0Politics aside, the property is massive as it juts out into the Atlantic and it&#8217;s\u00a0worth the walk to see. The way is paved and offers spectacular views of the ocean and manicured mansions. \u00a0There is access to the rocky oceanfront below. \u00a0Definitely worth taking a stroll. \u00a0Head in the other direction into town and there are beaucoup shops and eateries. I recommend Hurricanes for a spectacular meal. Pier 77 for a spectacular lobster roll and views.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They eat lobster in Maine like we eat chicken in the\u00a0South. It is everywhere.
