it varies for me man.
during mackerel season i will eat fish almost everyday, when they aren't biting i don't eat fish. that is exactly how it should be, we evolved to eat when food was available and eat when it wasn't available.. that is why having restaurants and grocery stores is making us so fat where we eat too much.. but that is a topic for another day
i think people are surprised when they hear how much meat i actually eat.. it isn't as much as you might think
i will have 2-3 whole eggs a day maybe half the days of the week. and a lot of days i might not even eat any meat. i actually went 2 months recently without any meat.
the actual amount of protein you need as a weight lifter is way less than you think. .6g per pound of bw. that means a 200 pound guy only needs 120g a day. that flies in the face of what you hear 90% of the time on these forums but it has been backed by studies and my own personal experiences

Nice. If you could get your hands on one of those studies about lower than expected protein, and post a link, I'd love to read it.
There is no bad form of seafood...just make sure it's WILD CAUGHT. I wouldn't feed farm raised fish to my worst enemy. It will clearly state on the label 'wild caught'
Wild caught fish is raised in the ocean. Those fish will have been raised eating what fish should be eating...algae, plankton, minos etc
Farm raised fish is raised in over polluted fish farms. The fish are fed GMO soy and corn.

definitely agree with muskate about making sure its wild caught... thats for starters..
i stick to white fish... i dont really eat any of the fattier fish, like salmon, i just simply dont like it but it doesnt fall into my goals of staying at single digit body fat year round... cod is one that i eat the most of because its lean, its not crazy expensive and it tastes great... i definitely LOVE halibut and sea bass as well.. pollock is a more affordable and clean option as well and snapper is another that i like but one of my favorites is calamari and NOT the fried kind but a real calamari steak... you have to be PIN POINT on how you cook it or its ruined but man, when i lived in Maui, i used to get the BEST fresh calamari and for the life of me, i cannot explain but i would wake up so dry EVERY DAMN TIME i ate it that i got addicted to it!

and when cutting 6oz of meat 6x per day when bulking its normally 8-10oz
I don't eat seafood very often. I enjoy salmon and have the odd can of tuna but that is it.

Shrimp. They pack a great protein punch.
While I’m at work I eat a pack of wild planet albacore tuna every day

So musky helped me with a diet plan and its been going great. But since I live next to the ocean and fish and dive often I've been substituting Mahi / hogfish / wahoo wherever her recommended cod / pollack
Tonight I decided to try some wild cod from fresh market. Omg I HATED IT lol. I dunno if I'm just a FL boy who eats FL fish but I was not a fan!!!

^^^comparing fresh caught fish to store bought fish is like comparing freshly squeezed OJ to sunny delight
no fucking way.. people who eat fish out of a can have no clue what fish should taste like
under no circumstance will i ever eat fish from the store. i catch my own.. i know where it has been and i clean it myself..

I am not the biggest fan of seafood mostly. Grilled calamari at the most I would!
