Lean meats and fish list. Can the fish be substituted? Cod steaks with potatoes

Nutritionists do not in vain attribute lean fish to healthy diet food.

Properly prepared, oily fish with vegetables will never lead you and yours to fullness.

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



The fat content of fish is quite an 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 "fattest" fish becomes by the spawning period.

Lean varieties (fat content up to 4%),

-medium fat varieties(from 4 to 8% fat) and

Fatty varieties (more than 8% fat).

Lean fish include:

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

The meat of these varieties is low in calories. Calorie content of meat, for example, 70-90 kilocalories, cod - 70-90 kcal, and flounder - 80 kcal. You can cook and eat these varieties of fish at least every day and without worrying about gaining excess weight.

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

The calorie content here is already quite high. So, 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 has very little fat (0.3–0.4%), practically no cholesterol, and contains useful phospholipids. Cod meat does not contain small muscle bones.

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

Although some varieties of fish have a lot of fat, these fats are useful, unsaturated fatty acids. Separately, it is necessary to mention herring, mackerel, sprat, eel and cod liver, as fish, which contains the most unsaturated fatty acids. However, if you have elevated blood cholesterol levels, mackerel will have to be abandoned, because. it stimulates the production of bad cholesterol.

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

List of fish varieties that can be included in the menu for pancreatitis

Not always the need to track the fat content of the diet is associated with the desire to become slimmer. Sometimes there are medical indications.

For example, with inflammation of the pancreas - pancreatitis. Regardless of whether it is an exacerbation of pancreatitis or a period of remission, fatty fish on the menu is contraindicated.

The pancreas of a person suffering from pancreatitis is simply unable to produce enough fat-breaking enzymes. And eating fatty fish varieties in food leads to symptoms such as nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, and vomiting.

With an exacerbation of the disease, fish is contraindicated at all. After a week and during remission, lean types of fish are acceptable in the diet.

The most gentle fish varieties containing 1-2% fat:

  • flounder;
  • pike;
  • whitefish;
  • zander;
  • white-eye;
  • burbot;
  • grayling;
  • mullet.

Dishes from them can be eaten without fear of provoking an attack of acute pancreatitis.

Fish with a fat content of 2-4% in the diet will also not cause harm.

These are the following types:

  • sea ​​bass;
  • trout;
  • redfin mackerel;
  • pollock;
  • ice fish.

If a month has passed after the exacerbation of the disease and remission is observed, it is possible to use species of moderately fatty varieties, with 4 - 8% of the fat content:

  • carp;
  • river bream;
  • carp;
  • catfish
  • herring;
  • tuna;
  • horse mackerel;
  • chum salmon;
  • spring capelin.

At any stage of the disease is strictly prohibited salty fish, as well as canned fish and smoking. Red fish is also not recommended, no matter how it is cooked, as it belongs to fatty varieties.

These products activate the pancreas, irritating the mucous membrane of the organ. If the recommended diet is neglected, the consequences can be serious - swelling and necrosis of the gland and its departments.

Features of the choice of fish for pancreatitis

The choice of fish when buying should always be treated responsibly, but when it comes to dietary clinical nutrition, especially. Preferred fresh fish, but, for example, fresh marine is sold only in the regions where it is mined.

Then you need to buy fresh-frozen fish. It can be distinguished from re-frozen by the absence of a yellowish coating, excessive amounts of ice and snow, or an ice layer of uneven thickness.

Fresh fish should be really such, and not stale. Freshness is evidenced by tightly fitting shiny scales, the absence of excess mucus, bulging clear eyes and bright red gills.

If it is possible to touch the product, you can press on the carcass with your finger, the fresh product will not have a dent after that. As for storage conditions during the sale, chilled fish laid out on the counter on ice preserves freshness best of all.

Features of cooking fish with pancreatitis

If several days have passed after an attack of pancreatitis and it is allowed to include fish in the menu, then these should be dishes that include only skinless fillets.

Steamed quenelles, cutlets, as well as soufflés and casseroles are perfect.

During the remission period, fish can be cooked in a whole piece. It should be boiled, stewed, baked in the oven or steamed.

Fish is a valuable product for health, which should definitely be included in the diet.

And the variety of species and varieties allows you to indulge in fish dishes even for those who are on a diet for weight loss or for medical reasons.
