Heart Health Month Week 4: Calculate your Seafood Needs

I’d love it if you could get in an average of 1000mg of omega-3 fats each day. This is an average, and could be done over a week or months time - you don’t literally have to eat fish every single day!

In the Omega-3 Boost Box I created, it provides the exact amount of Sablefish and King Salmon to hit 1000 mg per day over a 3 month period. (and it gives you a test kit to track your progress on that O3I!)

Below are the omega-3 contents of the Premier Catch seafood products. Do a few calculations based on your preferences and build your own path to high omega-3 levels!

A few real-life notes:

• You can use supplemental fish oil if you don’t prefer to get your omega-3s solely through food. Some of my favorite brands are: Nordic Naturals, Quell by Douglas Labs, Barlean’s, and Thorne. Be sure to check the label! The correct amount of omega-3s in the supplement is the EPA number plus the DHA number (not the “total omega-3 number listed)! The goal is 1000 mg per day.

• Don’t drain off the oil from the tuna cans - it has tons of omega-3s in the oil!

• Remember your omega-3 intake doesn’t just happen at dinner! Remember tuna sandwiches, smoked salmon appetizers, and topped on your favorite salads for lunch.
