(NC)-If you’re trying to watch your weight, remember this – fish contain many important nutrients and can be lower in calories than other protein choices. Canada’s Food Guide recommends eating at least two Food Guide servings of fish each week because of the beneficial omega-3 fats that fish contain. To get the greatest health benefits, prepare fish using lower fat cooking methods. Slim·Fast (www.slimfast.ca) offers dozens of sensible main dish offerings to help you enjoy dinner time just that little bit more.
