Small fat fish. Lean fish: list of varieties for a healthy diet

It is not for nothing that nutritionists classify low-fat fish as a healthy dietary food.

Properly cooked fatty fish with vegetables will never lead you and yours to fullness.

About 15% of fish meat is high-quality protein, which contains all the necessary to the human body amino acids.

The fat content of the fish is sufficient important indicator and directly depends on its variety. The fat content of fish also varies depending on the time of year.

As a rule, the fish becomes the fattest during the spawning period.

Lean varieties (fat content up to 4%),

-moderate-fat varieties(4 to 8% fat) and

Fatty varieties (more than 8% fat).

Skinny fish varieties include:

Cod (0.3% fat content), haddock (0.5% fat content), navaga (0.8-1.4% fat content), silver hake (0.8-1.4%), pollock (0.5- 0.9% fat content), pollock (up to 2%), cod, blue whiting, river perch, bream, pike, roach, mullet (1.3-4% fat content), all types of mollusks and crayfish families.

The meat of these varieties is low in calories. The calorie content of meat, for example, is 70-90 kilocalories, cod - 70-90 kcal, and flounder - 80 kcal. You can cook and eat these types of fish even every day and without worrying about the increase excess weight.

The average calorie content of these types of fish is comparable to the calorie content of meat: for lean herring it is 120-140 kcal, for tuna - 130-140 kcal, for carp - 90-120 kcal.

The calorie content here is already quite high. Thus, fatty herring has a calorie content of 210-250 kilocalories per 100 grams, fatty mackerel - 180-220 kilocalories.

White, dense cod meat contains 18–19% protein; it contains very little fat (0.3–0.4%), virtually no cholesterol, and contains beneficial phospholipids. There are no small muscle bones in cod meat.

Freshwater fish of moderately fatty and lean varieties from the carp family, which include carp, bream, tench, roach, crucian carp, carp, asp, ide and silver carp, are highly valued as a source of complete protein and.

Although some types of fish have a lot of fat, these fats are classified as healthy, unsaturated fatty acids. Separately, it is necessary to mention herring, mackerel, sprat, eel and cod liver, as fish that contain the most unsaturated fatty acids. However, if you have high cholesterol levels in your blood, you will have to give up mackerel, because... it stimulates the production of abnormal cholesterol.

Interestingly, Lake Baikal is home to the fattest fish in the world. This is the Baikal golomyanka (Comephorus baikalensis). Her body is almost 40% fat. The rest is large head with a huge mouth, fins and a spine.

Good afternoon, my dear readers! Today I will tell you about my favorite product - fish. Currently, scientists have proven its usefulness for weight loss. Lean fish for the diet, the list of which is given below, divided by fat content and calorie content. Let's look at popular power systems that use this valuable product. And I included tips on how to best prepare fish so that it is tasty and healthy.

Fish is a source of high-quality protein and is quickly absorbed by the body. If it takes about three or four hours to digest the meat, then the fish will “dissolve” in two. Therefore, in dietary nutrition Recommended even for evening meals. Proteins keep you feeling full for a long time. The brain “gives a signal” not to store anything on the sides or butt.

I think many people have heard about the longevity of the people of Japan. They have virtually no problems with the thyroid gland. Excellent vision And smooth skin persist until old age. Just look at the photo - cheerful, youthful people. Scientists have found that the cause of health was the consumption of large amounts of sea fish. The composition of your favorite product includes the following benefits:

• Omega-3 fatty amino acids;
• vitamins;
• phosphorus;
• zinc;
• calcium.

Regular consumption of seafood reduces the risk of heart disease. The pressure stabilizes. The functioning of the immune system and brain improves. If you don’t want to suffer from dementia in old age, eat fish.

Iodine - saturates thyroid gland, which has a huge impact on calorie burning and metabolism. And Omega-3 fatty acid is a very healthy thing. Without it, the synthesis of other substances in the body is impossible. It maintains normal sensitivity nerve fibers, participates in muscle contraction. The presence of beneficial Omega-3 acids will have positive influence on hair, skin, nails.

In non-carbohydrate nutrition systems when losing weight, it is often advised to replace meat with fish. However, not all varieties are equally useful. In terms of calorie content, fatty mackerel is far ahead of lean pork. In order not to be mistaken, we will divide the fish according to fat content.

To get an idea of ​​the fat content of seafood, pay attention to the color of the meat. If it is light, you have a lean variety of fish. The darker the fillet, the more calories. Think herring, salmon or mackerel.

Of course, scientists say that fatty fish is the healthiest. In it a large number of necessary substances. But when losing weight, you should forget about it. Or reduce your consumption to a small piece per week.

Not fatty varieties Let's mention the fish separately. They have no carbohydrates. That's why they are so popular among fans. So switching to fish while dieting can help delay the need to lower your carbohydrate intake.

Lean fish has less fat than the leanest meat. You can get the same amount of protein from everyone, but consume fewer calories. This will allow you to keep your carbohydrate intake to a relatively moderate level and you won't feel too depleted. Even in the evening. There will definitely not be any extra leftovers 😉

If you are wondering how often you can eat fish, then I can please you - if there are no contraindications, then at least every day. A serving of 100 grams is considered standard. And even if you are not a fan of this type of product, then arrange “fish days” for yourself at least sometimes. A plate of fish soup or a fragrant baked piece will add variety to any menu.

Which one is better and how to cook it

Even on the most democratic Dukan diet, you can eat this product at any stage. Dr. Dukan focuses on proteins and prohibits carbohydrates, fats and sweets. Fish in the food system takes up not last place. During all stages of the diet, almost any diet is allowed - sea or river. You can even have a little piece of smoked salmon. I wrote an article about in more detail. Products can be boiled, steamed, fried or baked in foil. Nose minimum quantity vegetable oil.

Now let's move on to the most delicious moment. Fish recipes when it comes to diets, this is a separate science. They need to take into account the usefulness of a particular variety. And also how safe it will be to use if you have gastritis or diabetes.

Cooking

I recommend including the following types of seafood in your diet: tuna, flounder, haddock, pollock, cod, as well as shrimp and crabs. See the table above for other types with low and very low fat content. But the amount of protein in such meat is high.

To reduce calorie content, you can boil the fish in water or steam it. The last method is the healthiest and tastiest. The meat turns out juicy and tender. For flavor, sprinkle the pieces with a little lemon juice and add a sprig of herbs (dill, parsley). Sprinkle with aromatic fish seasoning and wrap in foil. In 30 minutes it will be ready.

A plate of fish soup without potatoes - excellent dietary dish. You can eat as much as you want without any consequences on your waistline. A very tasty broth is made from pike. Minimum calories with amazing aroma.

Try to use less sauces. They provoke appetite. If you don’t like the fishy smell, soak the seafood in milk for an hour. Unpleasant aroma will disappear.

Some of my people complain that the fish falls apart when cooked. Try cooking cod. Its fillet is not as tender as other species. Or you can use a little trick. Add a little vinegar to boiling water and boil the fish calmly. The aromatic fillet will not fall apart.

Bake

Recipes for weight loss contain a minimum of oil. The baking process itself involves cooking the product simultaneously from all sides in the oven. At the same time, the fish turns out much tastier than with banal boiling.

Foil or a sleeve is suitable for baking. Nutritionists have noticed: oven-fried foods are much healthier than those fried in a frying pan. Pieces of fish can be “released from protection” a few minutes before they are ready. Then you will get a delicious crust without butter. Or try baking it in natural yoghurt. The taste is indistinguishable from sour cream. But fewer calories.

Can I eat fried, salted or smoked?

For gastritis and others stomach problems fried food is not allowed. But reconsider your cooking methods. In batter or breadcrumbs - definitely not. Especially with diabetes. If you really want it, then small quantity Butter on you can treat yourself to a portion. But not more than once a week. Just don’t forget to place the finished pieces on a napkin. The oil should be absorbed. By the way, in my article “” you can find a lot of interesting things.

And here Doctors do not prohibit salty food. Just not herring or ram, of course. It’s better to make lightly salted, low-fat fish yourself. Eat only in the first half of the day. Otherwise, expect unpleasant swelling on your face and overweight on the scales. After eating something salty, you just want to drink and drink.

Smoked under strict ban! Don't even think about it - definitely not. The dangers of smoked food have been talked about for so long that everyone has stopped paying attention to it. But in vain - dangerous carcinogens can cause cancer.

Smoked meats negatively affect the stomach and liver. Firstly, the amount of salt in such products is increased. Secondly, the calorie content increases due to the removal of water during the cooking process. In order not to be unfounded, I am attaching a table for comparison.

And careless manufacturers can smoke low-quality raw materials. In addition to the main problems, you can also get poisoned.

Fish is a tasty and healthy product that will help cope with overweight. Choose low-fat varieties and cook. Fried, baked or boiled - you can calculate a varied menu for the whole week. Daily use will make you not only slim, but also beautiful.

More short video about the benefits of fish:

That's all, my dears! If you liked the article, do not hesitate to leave comments. – a lot more interesting things await you. See you!

Very often we are surrounded by fish products, both sea and river or lake. They all have their own diet and structure.

But fish is not always healthy. This is influenced by who she is, a hunter or a scavenger, what she eats, as well as in what waters she lives, clean sea or sewage river, because water plays an important role, since all elements are absorbed into the meat.

This also plays into the fatty factor of the fish, there is a lot of fatty fish, and, on the contrary, there are many varieties of lean fish that do not eat anything harmful.

The benefits of fish

Fish fillet- this is pure protein, a mass of macro- and microelements. The main fish product is considered fish fat. It contains a large amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids omega-3 And omega-6.

The usefulness of the fish itself depends on the habitat: sea/ocean or river/lake. In river water, the amount of fats and proteins is lower, and there is no iodine and bromine in the composition, which are found in sea and ocean water. Therefore, sea fish is much healthier than river fish.

In addition to high saturation with iodine and bromine, together with them you can get in the required quantities:

• phosphorus;
• potassium;
• magnesium;
• sodium;
• sulfur;
• fluorine;

Fish for dietary nutrition

Since there are many things you are not allowed to eat on a diet, fish is not only a salvation, but also an assistant to the body.

Allowed to eat:

These varieties are low in calories, but at the same time tasty and nutritious. They will help diversify the narrow dietary ration. Fish can be combined with many side dishes, which can dilute the tastelessness of unsalted buckwheat or rice.

Non-diet fish

There are a lot of such fish in the world, but not all of them are healthy and suitable for eating; the following types can be distinguished from the “healthy” varieties:

They contain large amounts of EPA and DHA. Many types of these fish require a special cooking process, so before cooking it is necessary to refresh your memory with the characteristics of the variety.

Moderate fat fish

Some marine fish with moderate fat content include:

The river inhabitants compiled the following list:

Such fish gives the human body high quality. This product useful to everyone without exception, and athletes simply need it. Some varieties are included because they provide the body with many important nutrients. This fish is not contraindicated for children; they can eat carp, salmon, perch, and trout.

What kind of fish can you eat while losing weight?

To understand the fat content, you can look at the meat. Light indicates a lean variety. The logic is simple, the darker the meat, the higher calorie product. Of course, fish is rich in fat useful elements, but when losing weight you should avoid it or minimize your consumption to no more than 1 piece per week.

Low-fat lacks the carbohydrate part. These varieties are very popular in low-carbohydrate diets. Using low-fat fish in your diet will allow you not to reduce carbohydrate consumption.

Types of lean fish for baby food

These types of fish are no less healthy, but it is important to remember that they are very bony, and before serving you need to make sure that there are a minimum of bones in it.

The cod family has many benefits:
