After doing some research, it seems that a good protein to eat when trying to lessen triglycerides and cholesterol is cold water fish. Only problem is, I am not sure which fish in my fish water is cold water fish, lol! :laugh:

After doing an online search, the only thing that I came up with was salmon, tuna, sardines, and anchovies. The first 2 I'm OK with, the latter 2...NO NO NO NO and more NO! :bigsmile:

What other fish can I add to the list? What about something as basic as trout, catfish, or freshwater perch? I have recipes for all of the above, but I want to streamline my diet and only eat the ones that will really help me out, at least until the numbers go down and then I can slowly re-introduce the others. :flowerforyou:

    Just look for fish higher in Omega-3 fa EPA/DHA..Salmon, herring, trout, tuna, mackeral ect..I believe for people with high triacylglycerol levels the (AHA) and research suggests they supplement with 2-4g combined EPA/DHA....Also check out (http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usda/usdahome) You can punch in the fish you are looking to buy or have consumed and the serving size and it will show you the amounts of those fats (EPA/DHA that are in that serving and you can determine how much fish to consume per week to meet the (AHA) therapeutic dose of 2-4g of combined EPA/DHA.
