Sardines

Sardines are a readily available and affordable fish that yield big health benefits. A 3.25-ounce can is only 191 calories and is packed with 56.7% of your daily needs of omega-3 fatty acids per serving. Try them as a sandwich filling on rye bread with mustard and red onion or simply grill fresh sardines as an appetizer or entrée. When buying canned sardines, opt for the water-packed variety to reduce calories and added salt.
