    Bugers, huh? Didn't know that it was a protein! LOL I'm just messing with ya! Any way, I'm not sure if you eat lean red meat, turkey or fish/seafood, but I have a few healthy ideas for you! I would recommend serving each recipe with a healthy portion of fresh greens or whatever is your favorite veggie! :0)

    1st one: Baihian Halibut
    Ingredients:
    •2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    •2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
    •4 (1-inch thick) halibut steak halves (about 2 pounds)
    •1 small onion, chopped
    •1 cup chopped green bell pepper
    •1 teaspoon salt
    •2 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
    •1 serrano chile or jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
    •1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
    •1 medium tomato, diced)

    Directions:
    1.With a fork, whisk 1 tablespoon of the oil and all the lime juice on large platter, add fish, and turn to coat.
    2.Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and pepper. Cook 6 minutes until onion is translucent and pepper is just tender.
    3.Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of the salt over fish, add fish to skillet; pour coconut milk over fish and add tomato. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 8 to 9 minutes, turning fish halfway through cooking time.
    4.Stir remaining salt into sauce, spoon over fish a few times, and serve immediately.

    Take any of the recipes and replace the meat with rabbit meat. It is super high in protean and very low fat. Farm raised rabbit tastes just like chicken.

    The following came from this source:
    http://www.redorbit.com/news/health/102734/the_merits_of_domestic_rabbit_meat/

    Protein

    Since we all know protein is important in our diet, let's consider the protein level per pound, beginning with the rabbit. Rabbit meat contains 20.8% while turkey follows with 20.1% and chicken with 20%. Medium-fat veal has 18.0% and a good grade of beef comes in at only 16.3%. A medium-fat lamb contains 15.7% and medium- fat pork slides in last at only 11.9% of protein per pound.

    Fat

    Domestically produced rabbit meat contains less fat than other meats. Again, beginning with the rabbit we see only 10.2% fat per pound compared with chicken at 11.0%, turkey at 20.2%, veal at 14.0%, good beef at 28.0%, lamb comes in at 27.7% and once again pork has a whopping 45.0% fat per pound.

    Calories

    We have one more thing that is howling at us daily. Calories! Looking at the per pound measure again, rabbit is ahead of the race with only 795 calories, chicken runs a close second with 810, but turkey loses with 1,190 calories. Veal beats out turkey with 910 and lamb comes in with 1,420. But here comes beef sliding in at 1,440 calories per pound. Not too bad if you compare it to lamb, but where is pork? There it is, coming along at the end of the race with 2,050 calories per pound. (Oh, how I do love my pork chops and ham!)
