Eating a diet of mostly fish (pescatarian)

For the past few weeks I have cut red meat, chicken and turkey out of my diet and have been eating only fish, in addition to vegetables, fruits, nuts eggs,dairy and whole grains.Fish is an excellent source of lean protein which is loaded with omega 3 fatty acids.Make sure you eat wild salmon, you can find this in cans, as well as frozen or fresh at certain times of the year. Avoid farm raised salmon as it is fattier, has less omega 3 fatty acids,contains pesticides and dye.I am eating a lot of wild salmon, as well as tuna and boneless /skinless sardines, packed in olive oil.Salmon,tuna and mackerel are excellent sources of vitamin D.
