Fish/Seafood Entrées
    A healthy diet includes plenty of fish. Why? Fish are sources of proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals, as well as many essential amino acids. In addition, one of the best sources for Omega-3 fatty acids are oily fish like cod, tuna, salmon, sardines, herring, and mackerel—and all are easier to digest than meat.
    You may have already heard about the health benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids, which help promote weight loss while still having a positive effect on the metabolizing of muscle proteins. Omega-3 fatty acids also help reduce inflammation and lower bad cholesterol
