[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see here that many people eat a lot of chicken and salmon to get their protein.  I like salmon a lot but chicken not so much.  I get tired of salmon easily.  If I eat salmon twice a week and chicken once, what else can I eat for protein that is not red meat (I mostly avoid but would be willing to do 1x/week?)  I love
Chickpeas and beans and lentils but probably can’t do more than once/week due to caloric content.  Can seafood be an option? Fake meat?  I just don’t want to burn out on salmon and I really have to force myself to eat chicken. [/quote]

Do you like shrimp? I have been eating it much more frequently recently after my GP recommended I cut back on other sources of meat protein. Shrimp was once vilified but like eggs there has been a reconsideration in recent years and it is recommended as a good source of low calorie, low carb but high nutrient lean protein. I have been learning a new repertoire of dishes all compliant with Mediterranean diet principles and many ways to eat shrimp have been included. Also upping my intake of tuna - Mediterranean tuna salad is a whole different thing from my WASPy diet experience of tuna - and white fishes, too.[/quote]
