To eat along with an “Ultra Low Carb” meal of ground beef, eggs, and coconut oil, would sardines be a good source of fat, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids?One can of Brunswick Sardines contains the following:1.3g omega-3 fatty acidsFat: 7g (Saturated Fat: 1.5g, Polyunsaturated Fat: 1.5g, Monounsaturated Fat: 4g)Protein: 7g
Avoid canned produce. That's my advice, not Kiefer's.
Apparently sardines are a great source of omega 3 fat. Along with other small (shell)fish that eat plankton. They're also low in mercury compared to bigger fish (that eat other fish).
Anything canned is really not that great to have. Too much can cause inflammation and isn't all that healthy as we like to think. Once in a while is ok. Matter of fact I have cans of tuna that need to be eaten.

Yeah, they are a great source of Omega-3, but what happens to Omega-3 when it's heated in the canning process?Canned foods have to be heated to the point where ALL bacteria is eliminated otherwise the food would spoil in the tin. Get fresh or frozen fish if you care about health benefits.

That's a good rule of thumb for any food :).

Thanks for your time and advice!Instead of canned sardines, what about Frozen Cooper River Seafoods Alaskan Sockeye Salmon?Frozen Cooper River Seafoods Alaskan Sockeye Salmon is sold at the Sam's Club near my location. One piece of Frozen Cooper River Seafoods Alaskan Sockeye Salmon contains the following:Omega-3 fatty acids (Unknown Amount)Fat: 12g (Saturated Fat: 2.5g)Protein: 37g
Storm, If you take any of these forums too seriously long enough, you'll soon go crazy and won't be able to eat anything that you don't grow or raise yourself. Don't sweat the small stuff, you're probably eating better than 99% of most Americans. 🙂

I totally agree.I eat canned fish for the protein and fat 2-4 times a week. (tuna, sardines, oysters, cod liver)In my opinion, consistently hitting your macros daily is more important for results than the source of them.

Yeah but at a point whats more important how you look in the mirror or your health ?
When eating from a can make sure it wild caught. I eat sardines, tuna, and salmon out of a can and its done me pretty well.
It's up to you how far you want to go to source high quality food. I just want to make sure you know the difference so you can make an informed decision.I don't like to see people making an effort to do something 'healthy' only to find out later that what they've been doing wasn't as good for them as they thought.
I eat them because its quick and easy. I can have them in my lunch box and they'll always be ready to eat when they are needed.
