I'd have to say I've been reading a lot of people's posts and just my "two cents". If your looking for high protein and low fat and mim carbs. White tuna in water is great for the body!just don't use mayo , I've found that a table spoon of salsa is just great! Talipa white fish is great too. Any fish is good if farm raised or not if your low on cash. It's a great source of omega 3. Which is good fat for you body to burn . Also dry oats are great first thing in the morning it is a slow burning carb so it takes about 6 hours to burn . Great if you eat one cup with skim milk and 5 hard boiled eggs in the am before a hard work out. It really gives you a good power boost! If any one has any other good ones please post

Shrimp is also a great source of protein with only a VERY small amount of fat / carbs.1
-
Yes to shrimp.
Also so lean cuts of pork and beef.0 -
Since when was tuna ever white?
Anyway, spose i'll add Skinless chicken breast to the list.0 -
Great protein sources with little fat and little carbs are not nanaturally abundant. The very few that I know of are chicken breast, milk (0% variation, or skim), and of course whey protein. There is another version of whey protein called Whey Isolate that has even less carbs!0

Those tips are so specific and random that they - especially paired with the broscience - border nonsense.
Not many look for low fat these days (thank god). Cutting carbs all the way is not a good idea either.
I eat tuna in oil and add mayo. I have oatmeal now and then, for breakfast or lunch, but food doesn't take any specified time to "burn". Your body burns calories 24/7 and you hopefully don't eat just "dry" oats.
I'm tempted to call troll.3 -
Tuna is high in mercury.0

Fat-free cottage cheese, though you'll probably want to add something to flavor it [never liked the stuff plain]. I usually mix mine with some fruit-flavored greek yogurt, but that has carbs so it won't work so well for you.0

Beef jerky is high in protein and low in fat/carbs. Well, it is just meat. The main downside is that it is very expensive. There are also protein drinks that they sell at stores but they are also expensive.0

Only the stuff from the supermarket (that's also full of preservatives and loads of sodium) is expensive.1 -

Yes, great source, as is shellfish in general.
I hate canned tuna and don't really like tilapia (I like most other fish, but for catfish), but fish in general is a good source, as are lean cuts of other meats, and low and no fat dairy.
I'm never really in need of protein without fat or carbs, though.0 -
Guys, what is your opinion in those cooked ham slices they sell at supermarkets like Walmart? Are they healthy? I see they are a bit high in sodium IMO but I am not sure how "healthy" ham is simce it is high in protein and not a very mentioned food0

What is your cholesterol level? I'm really torn because my cholesterol is a little high and my doctor told me to stick to low fat, low carb, but I've read many posts that say people have lowered their cholesterol level by just reducing carbs.0 -

I haven't tested my cholesterol (I don't think I ever have?), but from what I've read about cholesterol and diet, I'm confused
Many sources suggest dietary cholesterol has no impact on blood cholesterol, and some also suggest saturated fat plays no part in it. Some point to trans fat as the culprit. Lots of people have had their blood markers improved just from losing weight. Even the Twinkie diet professor. There's also "good" and "bad" cholesterol, and even "good bad" etc 
The only thing I'm certain about, is that you can't go low carb and low fat at the same time. That would mean high protein, and too much protein is tough on the kidneys. At the very least, talk to your doctor again and ask what they meant and to give you a concrete meal plan, or a refererral to a dietician. It could be the message was simply meant as "reduce calorie intake, but keep a reasonable protein intake", and that's doable on your own. 0 -
My understanding is that dietary cholesterol does not matter, and sat fat matters for some people, probably a minority, which is why they usually test to see if improving the diet helps. Losing weight often helps.
My dad was not overweight, and reduced his cholesterol by lowering sat fat.
Some people who go low carb end up with better cholesterol results (and some don't from what I've seen on MFP), but those who do usually also lose weight. That said, improving the diet is typically a good idea and if one eats lots of low nutrient carbs (usually they come with fat, though), that's not a bad thing to reduce, whether replaced with healthy fats or more nutrient dense carbs.0 -

Less a retraction, more a never was.
https://www.epa.gov/fish-tech/epa-fda-advisory-mercury-fish-and-shellfish
Note the wording of the Draft 2014 Advice. The only fish listed to reduce or avoid consumption of are Tilefish from GoM shark, swordfish, and king mackerel, and to limit white albacore consumption to 6 oz./week. Again, this is targeted at pregnant/nursing women, and the general population has no such recommended restrictions.
Canned light tuna is even under the "recommended for lower mercury content" section, for said pregnant women, along with shrimp, etc.
Also of note, is that the original 2004 draft from the FDA/EPA never had a recommended maximum intake for anyone other than pregnant/nursing women and young children. People extrapolated that advisory to apply to everyone, which was never the case.1 -
I think for a woman of child bearing age that came from this section
"If you regularly eat types of fish that are high in methylmercury, it can accumulate in your blood stream over time. Methylmercury is removed from the body naturally, but it may take over a year for the levels to drop significantly.
Thus, it may be present in a woman even before she becomes pregnant. This is the reason why women who are trying to become pregnant should also avoid eating certain types of fish."
Cos one never knows
Interesting though, thanks for link0 -
A friend of mine would eat 12 cans of tuna a day for 2 years. No ill effects.
However, to be safe you are better to change it up from day to day.
I might have a couple of cans of tuna one day and the next sardines, mackerel or salmon.
Better to go for the smaller shorter lived fish.0 -

It's less expensive to make it at home, and it really wasn't difficult.
That's a good protein/fat ratio!0 -
Guys, what is your opinion in those cooked ham slices they sell at supermarkets like Walmart? Are they healthy? I see they are a bit high in sodium IMO but I am not sure how "healthy" ham is simce it is high in protein and not a very mentioned food
Could someone answer this question? I love ham but I read sorwhere, can't remember where, that ham is not really healthy0 -
holy *kitten*! 5 boiled eggs? I'm happy with just one1

I love ham. In what way is it "not healthy"? If anything, even canned ham is amazing for me, because my sodium needs are massive, and it has a solid fat/protein ratio, if you add a little olive oil to it.2 -
If you are meaning those large slices of gammon ham. So long as sodium isn't a problem eat them.
I like them grilled with pineapple
Cheers, h.0 -
Thanks guys for the help. I can't remember correctly, I just read somewhere that ham is bad because of the way it is made or because of the chemicals it has or something like that. I read it somewhere online, it is just one of those things you read once, believe it, and then you keep wodering if it was true or not0

Nah bro no troll . Just stating what is a know good source of protien for good muscle gains . And that's your opinion on all carbs . First off bad carbs like bread turns to suger in 30 to 45 mins in your body so if you don't work out with in that time frame it is garbage. I was stating that oat meal is real good in the morning because it is a slow acting carb . It take about 6 hours in your body to fully digest . Hence which gives you engry in power lifting or hard training .. Next time read what I'm really saying before judging...kommodevaran wrote: »jeffreyheelan wrote: »I'd have to say I've been reading a lot of people's posts and just my "two cents".

I know I am late to the party...but yes, shrimp. You feel like you are getting something decadent, and they are completely low impact on your calorie/fat counts, but blow everything out of the water with their protein numbers.0
