Choose at least 2 times weekly. If you're using canned fish, such as canned sardines, select very-low-sodium or no-salt-added varieties. Good choice: most other fish, plus shelled mollusks (clams, oysters, mussels, scallops.

Satisfactory choices: crustaceans (shrimp, crab, lobster, crawfish), poultry (white meat, skinless) game meat (bison, venison, elk, ostrich), optimally free-range and grass-fed. Poor choice: red meat (beef, pork, lamb, veal, goat). For all red meat choices, select cuts that are under 30% fat.
