Including Fish, Meat and Poultry
Fish (particularly oily fish) is a good source of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. Fish can however also contain mercury and because of this, you should not eat more than 2-portions per week. Meat is an excellent source of protein, as it also contains B vitamins, plus iron and zinc; choose meat that is lean. Poultry should be skinned before cooking in order to reduce its fat content.
Sugar Intake
