Fish is meat. Sorry had to say it.
LOL ... I always wonder why people often don't consider fish "meat". Fish are animals. Animals are meat. Therefore, fish are meat. :bigsmile:0 -

My must haves are fresh veggies (my current obsession is kale), apples, low sodium tuna, eggs, soy milk, frozen berries, chicken breast, lean ground turkey, lean cuts of steak (or bison), pork loin, brown rice, whole grain pasta, sprouted-grain bread, canned chickpeas and other beans, fat free cottage cheese, fat free greek yogurt, oatbran, flaxseed, oatmeal, and of course coffee. Also never without my David's Tea!
P.S. I buy my meats from the local butcher shop and we also have excellent local honey, but I don't use honey often enough for it to be essential.
I forgot to add avocados too! I used to hate them but I found, as I often do with foods I dislike, it's all in the way you prepare them. Great smoothie recipe with avocado on my blog.0 -

I love this post. Here are a few of my favs.:
