Why
Fish
is
a
Fantastic
Protein
Choice
White
fish,
such
as
tilapia
or
cod,
is
not
only
light
and
flaky
but
also
a
lean
source
of
protein.
It’s
low
in
saturated
fat,
making
it
heart-friendly,
and
is
packed
with
omega-3
fatty
acids,
which
support
brain
and
heart
health.
Opting
for
seafood
over
heavier
proteins
can
help
keep
meals
light
while
delivering
essential
nutrients.
