Aldi Mackerel Fillets

[Quirkybee]

Helloooo folks

My dietitian said I can allow myself 2 pirtuons/meals per week of oily fish.
I adore Aldis mackerel fillets in the vaccum pack, all varieties and I told her that they are high in the fat, but that it's omega 3, she said it would not have that on the pack and I should only have 'x' amount of saturated fat per 100g .

So, are these ok to eat, even 3-4 times week if I wanted to please? Also, she said the tinned mackerel is fine, but not in tomato sauce. Bit daunted now to be honest.
Thank you

Personally, I would only be looking at the carb content which is minimal.

I buy similar from Lidl and eat twice a week.

Have you got any other health issues that affects how much fat you can eat if not the mackerel should be fine. I often make pate with those I love it.

You should be able to eat as much of that as you like. It looks like a fantastic staple food for you.

I do love them haha.
Thanks everyone. Pretty lunch test was 5.8, after eating the above (2 fillets) with mixed salad, 2 he's later my reading was 7.0
Is that good?

That is a good lunch and those readings are very good especially considering how high you were just in the last few days. I think you are getting the hang of things

I eat this perhaps 2 to 3 times a week, they are so versatile and should help your good cholesterol (did for me).
