Am I eating to much FISH???

[mustang331]

Started to diet a few weeks ago (losing tons of weight, so I'm so pumped and happy)

But here's the problem.. I just realized I eat TONS of fish..

Here is what could be a typical day in what I eat (mind you, this is strictly weight loss and not caring about losing muscle)

I will skip meals but just include what I eat that contains fish.


11am
3oz of Salmon(nova or lox)
on a whole wheat wrap (40 calories for the wrap)
red onion,tomato,capers and lemon juice

2pm
I eat the same thing as 11am

6pm
4OZ of tilapia, usually with half of sweet potato and veggies

10pm
same as 6pm


Ok.. So as you can see I eat fish a lot.. The other meals you don't see, are usually yogurts, chicken, lean steak, oatmeal, eggs..

I will do this diet with the fish above, 3-4 days a week.

What I'm afraid of is how much fish I am eating, how bad is it for me? I'm talking about the dangers (because its making me look great, lol)
Mercury levels and such?

I mean can I eat fish EVERYDAY, 3 times a day?

If I have to skip out on the salmon that's ok.. But I love my tilapia!! I can eat it almost for every meal..

Thanks guys!!
been a while since I posted, but I got gear ready to go and need to lose a ton of weight first so..

You are only eating 14oz of fish. I eat more than that in one sitting. So no, you are not eating too much fish. You are probably not consuming enough calories unless you are a girl

only about 1400-1800 a day...

I need to lose weight and quick, I don't care if I lose muscle AT ALL!!! I rather look lanky and skinny (which I won't) then what I look like now..

Nah man I eat fish as my main source of protein. My house stinks of fish after Ive been in the kitchen!

I thought this too - until I became lanky and skinny. What makes you think you won't? Reconsider this. The fast route is NEVER the right one bro, it just doesn't work that way. You will look like sh!t.

To answer your question - no, you are perfectly fine with the amount of fish you're eating.

If it comes off too quick you risk it coming right back on just as fast..

Unless your morbidly obese to begin with! Otherwise, your right, anywhere between 1-2 lbs. a week is best providing your diet and exercise is spot on.

You are fine. I have a can of tuna each night before bed while bulking.
