Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Salmon

  • Metabolic Effect: Thanks to its high protein content, it keeps you full for a long time and supports muscle development. Because it contains Omega-3 fatty acids, it is beneficial for heart health and reduces inflammation.
  • Consumption Recommendation: It is recommended to consume it at least twice a week. It can be consumed baked, grilled, or steamed. Consuming it with a salad with plenty of greens increases its nutritional value.
  • Things to Consider: Pregnant and breastfeeding women should pay attention to the amount they consume due to its mercury content. Small fish should be preferred instead of large fish.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from 100 grams of salmon, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 36 minutes. Alternatively, a 20-minute run can provide the same effect.
