A Shaggy Fish Story: These are all pretty low in sodium but I listed them from highest  to lowest (in mg per average serving):: halibut(110), whitefish(101), mackerel(101), SALMON(87), catfish(84), mullet(77), rainbow trout(28). If you ever feel like slumming try the high flyers: tuna(622), haddock(619), flounder(542), or pike(467).Shrimp's so-So(126) Ah! But fake crab meat tops them at 715mg. And lobster? Oy!! 826!!

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Almost anything: Almost any fruit and/or vegetable combination can be made into a smoothie along with nuts, seeds, yoghurt or milk for protein. Banana helps make it creamy especially if not using yoghurt or milk. It also helps for some of the fruit to be frozen (like berries). Google "smoothies" for suggestions.

how often should i eat fish?

Accepted Answer

2 - 3 times per week: There is no right answer. I suggest eating fish a few times / week. Avoid fish w/ higher mercury (tuna, shark, swordfish, lake trout, marlin). Eating a diet rich in fish, veggies, nuts, olive oil, whole grains & having fruit 4 dessert is a healthy way 2 fuel your body. Cooking fish takes a little practice, but is easy. You can grill it, bake it, broil it. Avoid fried fish or other fried food.
