Fish
Fish are a great source of protein and have low levels of carbohydrates. This makes them an ideal food for those following a weight-loss diet. With so many species to choose from, you will never be bored when it comes to fish. Fish can be a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which may help with heart health, brain function, and mood. Some of the most popular low fiber fish choices include:
- salmon
- trout
- mackerel
- halibut
- scallops
- codfish (ground)
- tilapia (African catfish)
- tuna
- sardines
Salmon, in particular, is a good choice because it is also high in healthy omega-three fatty acids and protein. Just half a fillet of salmon contains around 22 grams of protein and only three grams of carbs. A three-ounce cooked salmon fillet contains only 0.66 grams of carbs.
Trout is another type of fish that is low in carbs. It is a good source of protein and omega-three fatty acids. A three-ounce serving of trout contains only 0.88 grams of carbs.
