How many calories does the fish contribute

To take a diet as varied and balanced as possible, it is necessary to opt, above all, for different groups of foods considered as -in short- the healthiest and healthiest ones, which provide us with the different essential nutrients that our body needs to function correctly.

In this way, while it is essential to consume 5 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables each day, it is recommended to take between 4 to 5 servings of fish and shellfish per week (meaning a single fillet of 125 to 150 grams per serving).

In the case of fish, as you surely know, it is important to differentiate between blue fish (fatty fish especially rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, beneficial to cardiovascular health) and white fish (provides less fat but also that blue fish is rich in phosphorus and calcium, in addition to vitamins and other essential nutrients).

It is a food that usually does not provide many calories, compared to other foods of animal origin such as meat (you can learn more about the calories of meat in our special article). But from a nutritional point of view, in addition to its content in healthy fatty acids, they stand out for their incredible quantity in proteins of high biological value, which means that they provide the majority of essential amino acids.
