Thread: omega 3 value of catfish?

  1. #1

    Analyze the college track athlete diet

    my diet is decent.

    morning:
    protein shake
    apple
    banana

    lunch:
    tuna sandwich
    banana

    lunch2:
    5 eggs w/cheese and ham

    postworkout:
    protein shake

    dinner:
    chicken breasts/pork/steak/pasta
    apple
    banana

    usually much on deli meat and roasted nuts throughout day inbtw classes
    -------------------------

    however sometimes if i forget to thaw out the meat in the morning, im faced with either eating a hamburger or fried catfish, i AM in college.

    if there is any omega 3 value in the catfish, ill eat that every time im faced with that decision. however, i hate making that decision.


    also how is my diet?

    About how many calories is that?

  3. #3
    is what?
    the catfish or the daily intake?
    because i know neither of those.

    the catfish they serve at our diner is 2 solid pieces.

    I meant for the entire day.

    There is some omega-3 value in catfish. Certainly more than a hamburger

    Your diet appears typical for a college student. My concern is that you might not be getting enough calories.

    i keep weight fairly well, if anything i have been getting heavier..?

    I'd be more interested in knowing the mercury content in catfish!

    Mercury happens more so in the big older deep sea fish. As can be viewed here:- http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~frf/sea-mehg.html

    Catfish seem fine

    what does catfish task like?? i have always heard that they are pretty much a garbage fish and dont eat it!! Now i hear they are serving them up at collage!!

    Well, garbage and being served up at college are not mutually exclusive. But, hey, some fried catfish, maybe a few hush puppies, some greens, a little sweet potato or pecan pie.....may not make you a better sprinter, but might make you happy.
