Low Calorie Menu the low calorie menus & food counts
A low calorie menu is for those who prefer to count calories, rather than carbs, as part of a weight loss diet.
These low calorie menus with food counts are quick and easy to prepare.
Of course, if you are following either our free Paleolithic diet (which is 100% natural foods) or our (less strict) free low carbohydrate diet, both of which we recommend, it is not necessary to count calories.
On the other hand, it is not harmful to have some idea of the food counts of a meal.

1 6 oz (uncooked) Wild Caught Sockeye Salmon Fillet
290 / 36 / 0 / 15 (3)
The best source of protein is wild caught salmon. As long as it is wild caught, it doesn't have to be sockeye salmon. All sockeye salmon, though, are wild caught.
Unfortunately, even wild caught salmon may not be free from mercury poisoning; it may be wise not to eat salmon more than once or twice a week.
Other excellent protein sources are halibut, herring, mackerel, and sardines.
