Don't sleep on the canned sardines. They never stop being good imo. Their high protein and fat content makes them really satiating. I think they're the ultimate food if you're dieting.
Since gyms were closed, I cut for about 4-5mo at the start of lockdown. Everyday for those 5 months: sardines. Never got tied of 'em or felt like I was on horrific starvation rations.
- Hnrobert42 5y agoBe careful eating tinned fish that much. My cousin became very ill in university - losing hair, losing weight, sleepy all the time. They tested her for everything. Eventually they realized she had high levels of mercury from eating a tin of tuna daily. Sardines might be okay because they are smaller, so they bioaggregate less.
- throwawayboise 5y agoSardines are small short-lived fish. They don't accumulate mercury the way that larger predatory fish such as tuna do. Sardines present a much lower mercury risk.
- nhooyr 5y agoAppreciate the tip. It does seem like a really good dieting food. Definitely going to buy some tomorrow.
- ip26 5y agoI wasn’t complaining about taste- it sounds like no more than 1200 calories a day (although it would depend a lot on the can size)
