The benefits of fish for the human body are obvious - with a low calorie content and good absorption, it is a source of high-quality protein with a set of essential amino acids.
Instructions
Step 1
Fish is an irreplaceable source of complete protein, which in biological value is close to the protein of meat products, but at the same time has a higher degree of digestibility. Protein (protein) contains essential amino acids, some of which the body cannot synthesize, and the only source of these amino acids is protein obtained from food.
Step 2
Athletes and people on protein diets who need food with a lot of protein and a low calorie content of the product should give preference to tuna. So, 100 g of this valuable fish contains on average about 20-25 g of complete protein, which is 50% of the daily value. Some species of this fish - yellowfin tuna, albacore tuna and deep-sea bluefin tuna - contain almost 30 g of protein. In second place after tuna in protein content is halibut, anchovies, lampreys and tilapia - about 26-28 g. Pollock lags slightly behind them - 19 g and mullet - 18.5 g. Mullet protein contains the essential amino acid methionine, which is not even in protein in meat products.
Step 3
Mackerel (mackerel) lags slightly behind pollock in terms of protein - this fish, which in ancient times was called the "elixir of youth", contains about 18 g of protein. The amount of protein in pike is at the same level. Almost on a par with sea fish in terms of protein content are also noble freshwater sturgeon families: sturgeon, stellate sturgeon, sterlet, thorn, beluga. The protein content in 100 g of this fish reaches 16.5 g, but it must be remembered that not only meat, but also caviar and milk can be an important source of protein. Moreover, the amount of protein in caviar exceeds the amount of protein in fish meat, and in milk it is equal to this value. Salmon fish and their caviar are an equally valuable source of protein. So, rainbow trout, chum salmon, pink salmon, salmon, omul, chinook salmon, whitefish, grayling, taimen, sockeye salmon can contain from 16 to 20 g of protein. The largest amount of protein is salmon - about 20 g. A hundred-gram piece of salmon provides the human body with half the daily protein requirement.
Step 4
Flounder meat contains 15.7 g of easily digestible protein with a well-balanced set of essential amino acids. Almost the same level contains protein in cod, swordfish and fish of the carp family: carp, grass carp, sabrefish, tench, crucian carp, ide. Hake, pollock, notothenia, herring, cod, river and sea bass round out the list of high protein fish.
