Salmon
Did you know that pink and sockeye salmon delivers less omega 3 than Atlantic and chinook? It is good to know since you can always vary with your choices. Me personally, I like pink salmon the most. I love eating it in pasta or grilled. Salmon in general is one of the best sources of the long-chain omega 3 fatty- acids EPA and DHA.
It has various positive effects on your skin and weight control and is a great source of protein for you! There are various salmon recipes, so you will never feel bored of this healthy food item.
Sardines
Last time I went to Whole Foods I saw small cans of Sardines, all natural, and gave it a try. After doing some research I decided to integrate it more often in my meal plan.
They are very omega-rich and even better for you if you buy them with skin and bones (which are edible)- they offer you four times more calcium as skinless,boneless sardines.
Shrimp
Also shrimp provides your body with a remarkable amount of omega-3 fatty acids which may promote heart and brain health. But i am also mentioning shrimp as one of the three seafood types you should eat more often because you can have so many different dishes with shrimp as a protein source! One of my favorite dishes is probably the coconut-shrimp-pot with rice on the side.
Shrimp is certainly lower in fat (and calories) than lean beef and even chicken has more fat than shrimp. Shrimp counts as a protein-rich food since three ounces of boiled shrimp provide about 20 grams of protein. Each jumbo shrimp provides about 3 grams of protein for you. On top, shrimp contains selenium, vitamin B 12 and iodine, which is important for a healthy thyroid function.
