The role of omega-3 for humans
What makes fish healthy is the presence of “good” fats in its composition, which must be included in the human diet. The list of problems that omega-3 helps solve and prevent is quite impressive. Here's what makes this valuable component:
- participates in the construction of the nervous and endocrine systems;
- stabilizes brain function;
- normalizes heart function;
- thins the blood, preventing the formation of blood clots;
- accelerates metabolic processes;
- removes “bad” cholesterol from the body;
- relieves foci of inflammation;
- increases immunity;
- helps maintain normal blood pressure;
- improves the appearance of skin, hair and nails;
- prevents skin diseases;
- reduces the risk of developing eye diseases;
- maintains proper sugar levels;
- prevents the development of joint diseases;
- normalizes hormonal levels;
- helps cope with stress and nervous overload, prevents depression;
- plays a key role in the normal development of the fetus during pregnancy.
And that is not all! Omega-3 increases the body's endurance, gives tone, increases performance, replenishes energy costs, fights chronic fatigue syndrome, and helps cope with physical activity.
How many calories are in oily fish?
Further we will talk about fish with a lot of calories, but this does not mean that they should be completely excluded from the diet. On the contrary, they must be consumed, as they can save you from diseases and contribute to the better functioning of your body:
- Mackerel. In fresh fish, the number of calories is 191, proteins - 18 g, fats - 13.2 g. After boiling, calories increase to 211 kcal, proteins - 20 g, fats - 15 g, and there are no carbohydrates. Smoked mackerel is very popular these days, and let's see how many calories it contains. In smoked fish, the number of kilocalories is 221, proteins - 20.7 g, fats - 20.7 g, carbohydrates - 15.5 g. Eating mackerel is a prevention of cardiovascular diseases and promotes blood circulation in the capillaries.
- Pink salmon. In an uncooked state, this fish has 142 kcal, proteins - 20.5 g, fats - 6.5 g. When boiled, calories increase to 152 kcal, proteins 21 g, fats - 7 g. If you want to fry pink salmon, be prepared for the fact that such fish will have kilocalories of 281, proteins - 17.1 g, fats - 16.4 g, and carbohydrates - 15.2 g. It is very interesting that pink salmon contains unsaturated acids, which are necessary for the absorption of nutrients.
- Salmon. All people who watch their diet are interested in the question of how many calories red fish contains: 142 kcal, proteins - 19.8 g, fats - 6.3 g. Salted salmon is one of the ways to prepare this fish. It contains 269 kcal, protein - 21 g, fat - 20.5 g. Fish prepared in this way is not recommended for those who are on a diet or who have problems with the kidneys and heart. Salmon is also steamed. It contains 135.6 kcal, protein – 17 g, fat – 6 g, and carbohydrates – 2.7 g.
- Bream. It contains 105 kilocalories, proteins - 17.1 g, fats - 4.1 g. In dried fish - 221 kcal, proteins - 42 g, fats - 5.9 g. How many calories are in boiled fish - 126 kcal, proteins - 20.9 g, fats - 4.7 g. Eating fresh bream prevents stroke; the substances contained in bream help rejuvenate the skin.
Steamed fish - this type of cooking is considered one of the best, as it is easily digestible
It is very important not to forget about how much fish should be in a person’s diet.
Fish and seafood rich in omega-3
Fatty fish contain large amounts of omega-3 fatty acids and are also an excellent substitute for heavier, more difficult-to-digest meat products. Medium-fat fish is often included in dietary and sports menus, since, on the one hand, it contains a sufficient level of “correct” fat and high-quality protein, and on the other hand, medium-fat varieties are well absorbed by the body. Low-fat varieties of fish, as well as almost all seafood, are ideal for a healthy and dietary diet, as they are light and nutritious food. Below is a table of omega-3 content in popular varieties of fish and seafood.
Name | Omega-3 content (per 100 g) |
Fish fat | 99,8 |
Cod liver oil | 10-21,00 |
Caviar (black/red) | 6,8 |
river eel | 5,6 |
Mackerel | 2,7-5,3 |
Herring, trout | 2-2,4 |
Salmon | 2,5-2,6 |
Halibut | 1,76 |
Sardines (Atlantic), whitefish | 1,5-1,8 |
Sprat | 1,4-3,5 |
Salmon (canned) | 1,8 |
Sardines (canned) | 1 |
Shark, swordfish | 0,8 |
Halibut | 0,7-1 |
Pink salmon | 0,7 |
Mussels, conger eel | 0,6 |
Flounder, mullet, carp | 0,5-0,6 |
Squid, oysters | 0,4-0,6 |
Shellfish | 0,4 |
Octopus | 0,3 |
Shrimps | 0,2-0,5 |
Perch | 0,2-0,6 |
Crustaceans | 0,2-0,4 |
Tuna | 0,2-0,3 |
Pike perch, cod, scallop | 0,2 |
Catfish, pike, bream | 0,1 |
A person needs to consume 1 g of omega-3 daily, and fish is an excellent source of this fatty acid. But this is far from the only advantage of this product.
Steamed fish, how many calories does it have?
This is another way to cook fish. But how many calories are in steamed fish? To do this, you again need to consider each type of fish separately.
For example, salmon contains 197 kcal, proteins – 19.3 g, fats – 14 g. This is an indispensable product in the treatment of certain skin diseases. This fish also helps strengthen muscle tissue. It is recommended to consume salmon prepared in this way no more than 2 times a week.
How many calories are in sea fish? It contains 79 kcal, protein – 17.53 g, fat – 1 g. This is a light and healthy product. Most often it is recommended for people who have digestive problems.
Flounder is also steamed. Its calorie content is 90 kcal, proteins – 16.1 g, fats – 2.7 g, and carbohydrates – 0.2 g. This fish is ideal for dietary nutrition. It contains low levels of fat and is very easily absorbed by the body.
Steamed hake contains 107.35 kcal, protein – 19.16 g, fat – 5.39 g.
Both boiled and steamed fish retain the most beneficial substances contained in it. This type of preparation is considered one of the best, as it is easily digestible and after the processing process does not accumulate a large amount of fat, as happens during frying.
Dividing fish by fat content
Different types of seafood differ in the ratio of proteins and fats and are generally divided into 3 groups.
The classification of fish varieties is based on the fat index, which varies in the product from 0.2 to 35%. Any fish is very healthy, but for a healthy diet it is recommended to regularly consume medium-fat, and even better, low-fat varieties. The processing method also matters. The final calorie content of the dish will depend on it. Nutritionists recommend boiling and baking fish, so it will retain all its beneficial properties and will not “gain” extra calories. Table of fish varieties by fat content
Group | % fat per 100 g | Kcal per 100 g |
Low fat | Less than 4 | 70-100 kcal |
Medium fat | 4-8 | 100-140 kcal |
Fat | More than 8 | more than 200 kcal |
Dietary cooking methods
As mentioned above, the calorie content of the finished dish largely depends on the cooking method and the ingredients used. Let's talk about the simplest, but at the same time dietary methods of preparation.
- Cooking. The easiest way to cook. You can eat boiled fish cooked in lightly salted water. You can also cook a light fish soup with vegetables. To do this, you need to choose a dietary type of fish and low-starch vegetables (onion, tomato, broccoli, asparagus, sweet pepper). The broth can be lightly salted. No need to add oil, spices or grains.
- For a couple. Many modern housewives have a double boiler in their kitchen. This is an ideal device for preparing dietary fish dishes. Steam preserves all its beneficial substances. The finished dish looks beautiful and appetizing.
- Baking. Baking in the oven without oil is another great cooking option. This method has a variety of recipes. It turns out very tasty if you bake the fish with vegetables and a small amount of spices.
- Grilled. At first glance, this cooking method has nothing to do with diets. But that's not true! The fish is grilled without adding oil or harmful ingredients. It turns out to be a simple, tasty dish with a pleasant aroma. A golden crust forms on top, which preserves the juiciness of the fillet.
- In a slow cooker. If you cook a fish dish in a slow cooker, you must follow one rule - no oil. Only in this case the dish will turn out to be dietary.
- Extinguishing. The fish can be stewed in a small amount of broth or some low-calorie sauce (for example, tomato). The main thing is not to add oil or high-calorie vegetables during the cooking process.
All these cooking methods allow you to preserve nutrients and make the finished dish low-calorie.
Separately, it is necessary to say about cooking methods, which will inevitably add calories to the finished dish. This is salting, smoking, frying. Salted or smoked foods retain water in the body, which is unsafe, especially if you have health problems. The frying process occurs using oil. The fish will inevitably become saturated with it, which can increase the calorie content of the finished product by 2 or even 3 times.

The healthiest fish
Among all the known categories of fish, there are several that are especially useful for the dietary table. This low-fat fish can be consumed by athletes, those who want to lose weight, and supporters of proper nutrition.
Cod
Refers to low-calorie, low-fat varieties. Cod fillet is white, soft, without bones and coarse fibers. It has a characteristic “sea” smell, which not everyone likes at first, but then they get used to it.
Cod meat contains practically no fat, but there is a lot of it in the liver. Cod liver is large, fatty and very healthy.
Cod fillet contains a large amount of minerals and vitamins. Especially a lot of phosphorus and iodine. Regular consumption of this fish improves brain activity. The functions of the thyroid gland are normalized, bones, ligaments, and tendons are strengthened.
The high amount of protein makes cod an ideal food for athletes. Protein is in an easily digestible form.
Almost all adherents of a healthy diet eat cod several times a month. The presence of this product on the table indicates that a person cares about his body.
Pink salmon
Refers to medium-fat varieties. The fillet has a pinkish tint, the brightness of which depends on the age of the individual and the habitat. Pink salmon is tender, with a small number of large bones that are easily removed. The smell is pleasant, not pungent.
Pink salmon fillet contains less protein than cod. But still, this amount is quite enough for this fish to be used for protein diets.
Meat contains polyunsaturated fatty acids, so pink salmon is especially useful for women during pregnancy and children. Polyunsaturated fatty acids have a positive effect on the central nervous system and improve brain function.
Pink salmon is well suited for proper nutrition and various diets. In addition, the cost of the product is low, which allows it to be consumed by almost all segments of the population.
Tuna
Ideally combines low calorie content (120 kcal/100g), fat content and a large amount of protein. Tuna meat has a delicate taste, while the characteristic “fishy” smell is weakly expressed. The color of the fillet is noble, pale pink.
It is believed that tuna is practically not affected by parasites, which is why in Japan it is often used as a raw material for sushi and can even be eaten raw.
Tuna meat contains a small amount of fat, but a lot of protein. Tuna is also rich in vitamins D, A, PP. A large amount of minerals (sodium, phosphorus, zinc, magnesium) makes this fish extremely useful.
Tuna is good for a healthy diet. It can be used in children's kitchens, as a large amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids will help children's intelligence develop better.
Fatty fish
The fat content of such fish starts at 8%, and the calorie content reaches 200-300 kcal.
These are saury, mackerel, beluga, ivashi, silver carp, sturgeon varieties, etc. This product is not suitable for dietary nutrition, but it is indispensable for a complete and balanced diet (in moderation!). It is these varieties that have the highest level of omega-3, as well as a lot of iodine, which helps the thyroid gland. Fish fat content table (high fat content)

Fish for a healthy diet
The protein contained in fish is used by cells for their own restoration. Fish protein also plays an important role in the creation of new cells, the production of immune bodies, hormones and enzymes.
Fatty acids have a good effect on blood clotting, which is very useful for preventing the development of sclerosis. All these reasons are good enough to include fish in your weekly diet. There are special Mediterranean food pyramids that contain more detailed information and nutritional recommendations.
However, it should be remembered that not everyone is recommended to eat seafood. Pregnant women and children should not eat shellfish and crustaceans because they contain purine. It can negatively affect uric acid levels in the blood. People who are overweight can safely switch to seafood, because they are so low in calories! As a source of iodine, seafood has no equal. Thanks to it, our body produces thyroid hormones, which are very important for metabolism.
Calorie content of fish (table)
Another important indicator for fish, as well as any product, is energy value.
For those who are watching their diet, it is important to understand how many calories are contained in a particular dish. It is logical that the fattier the fish, the higher its calorie content, but a lot will depend on the processing method. For example, flounder is a low-fat variety. When fresh, it contains only 83 kcal per 100 g. If you boil it, the finished dish will contain about 100 kcal, and if you fry it, the calorie content will almost double. This dish can no longer be called dietary. Therefore everything is relative. Below is the energy value of fresh fish per 100 grams of product, as well as the calorie content of some seafood, which is highly desirable to include in your menu. Calorie table for fish and seafood

Pork. The benefits and harms of meat
Pork is the most common type of meat and the most beloved by modern humanity. The debate about the benefits and harms of pork continues to this day. Many nutritionists are confident that it is quite difficult for the human body, others argue that the amount of nutrients is simply irreplaceable and insist that it should be consumed regularly, but in limited quantities.
First of all, it is worth noting that the fatty layer of pork, that is, lard, has many useful microelements that ensure the health of the nervous system. Only these substances are capable of restoring nerve cells in the body, namely:
- arachidonic acid - capable of regulating human hormonal levels
- Selenium - has a beneficial effect on brain function, thereby improving a person’s mental abilities

In addition to these two important substances, a number of other useful substances can be identified:
- all B vitamins are present in pork in sufficient quantities
- vitamin A
- vitamin PP
- vitamin C
- potassium
- magnesium
- phosphorus
- iron
- manganese
- sulfur
- iodine
- nickel
- chlorine
- cobalt
- tin
- zinc
- sodium
- fluorine
- molybdenum
Such a huge set of microelements confidently suggests that pork is not only possible, but necessary! In addition, under increased loads, only pork is able to restore strength in the muscles and develop them.
When eating pork, be aware of its fat content. The fattier the meat, the more calories it contains. The fattest parts are considered to be the neck and flank (fat), and the leanest is considered to be the tenderloin.
Beef. The benefits and harms of meat
Beef is not as popular as pork, but nevertheless it is considered one of the healthiest types of meat. It is often included in dietary and therapeutic diets. This meat is rich in protein, and is also a source of all the important and necessary amino acids for humans. Beef differs from other meats in that it is very well absorbed by the body. Meat has an indispensable property - to neutralize the increased acidity of the stomach. That is why beef is recommended for those who suffer from gastritis and ulcers.

Red beef meat is very rich in zinc, which means that it is incredibly beneficial for the female body. in addition, it is often included in the diet for those who periodically suffer from anemia. The harm of this meat is a rather complex issue, but all nutritionists and doctors have come to the same conclusion: cattle meat is harmful only if the animal is constantly fed with nitrates and pesticides.
Unfortunately, more and more often people who breed animals inject them with numerous antibiotics and growth hormones. This significantly degrades the quality of the meat. In addition, improper storage of meat is the cause of poisoning and consumption of harmful products. Beef cannot be thawed and frozen several times. In such cases, it becomes a source of carcinogens.
Poultry: chicken, turkey, duck. Benefits and harms

That is why chicken meat is considered dietary and is often prescribed to those trying to lose weight. However, if you decide to fry the chicken, you risk increasing its calorie content by 190 to 220 kcal. Give preference to meat cooked by steaming, in a slow cooker or in water, since in addition to a low percentage of fat content, it contains less cholesterol.
