Fish and Eggs Substitute for diets

[freak932]

Looking at all of the different diet plans out there, everything calls for some sort of eggs in the mornings and a decent amount of fish in the weekly intake. Here is the problem, I absolutely hate eggs and fish. I am not allergic, but can't stomach the taste of them.

What else can I substitute in their spots? Can I just omit the eggs, and fish? Any tips of things to add in their place??

Ditch the prewritten diet plans for reasons not just limited to your problems, calculate your macros and fill them with foods you enjoy.

Eggs are included because they are relatively cheap and a great source of both protein and fats. Fish are included again because of the relatively low calorie high protein yield as well as EPA/DHA content. If you aren't eating fish i'd suggest supplementing with a quality fish oil product (quality = 1g or more EPA/DHA content per serving). Otherwise, just hit your protein goals by other means.

Then set some basic macro goals and eat foods you prefer?

fat aside, both eggs and fish are usually included because they are good sources of lean protein. While you need fat in your diet, usually you can get it from other sources so it is always good to have knowledge of some sources of lean protein.

Pork tenderloin is as lean as skinless chicken breast:




^^ $6.60 buys you a pound of cooked lean meat. This is about $1.25 per 3 ounce portion, which gives you 15 grams of protein, with just 3.5 grams of fat, and 110 calories. You don’t even need to cook this. Either nuke to warm, or even eat cold.
