Many therapeutic diets recommend replacing meat with fish, and do it knowingly. Fish is one of the most recognized dietary products: it contains a large amount of protein, phosphorus, Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids and a host of other useful elements. At the same time the calorie content of fish is extremely low. This is due to the fact that even those types of fish that we are called fat (for example, trout, salmon, mackerel) contain between 14 and 19% fat, depending on the season. And what about non-fat fish types (such as flounder, bream, halibut)? The fat content in them is not more than 3%! In addition, fish oil is much more useful than meat, and fish is much more easily absorbed by the body. Determine which fish is less caloric, and which is more, you can use the calorie table for fish and seafood, from the lowest calorie to the most caloric.
