I have been eating 9oz of flounder as part of my diet now. I am trying to lower my bodyfat and the high protein, low fat content of fish seemed perfect. After a week and a half of eating fish, I am really getting sick of it. So much so, that last nights meal had me dry heaving and I couldn’t finish. The taste is too much for me to to shovel though it anymore.
What else could be substituted for it? Something high protein and really low fat. Chicken is already in my meal plans twice a day.
Turkey?
Different fish
Lean beef
Game
Would be my top 3, but you can get lean cuts of any meet.
You’re feeling sick of flounder because you’re eating the same thing every day by the sound of it. Stop this, you’ll feel sick of lean beef if that’s all you ever it. Poliquin would tell you it will lead to allegies.
Why do you want low fat protein?
A substitution for fish? Rice cakes, of course.

What’s your entire nutrition plan? What does your daily menu look like?
“High” protein and “low” fat are relative terms that, again, depend on your entire nutrition plan and what else you’re eating each day.
But to over-simplify things, you could go with egg whites, Metabolic Drive, turkey, lean pork, fat-free dairy (milk, yogurt, cottage cheese). Plenty of other options.
My diet plan is typically:
6:30 - 2 eggs & 3 egg whites & 1 cup oatmeal & 1 banana & 5g BCAA
9:00 - 1 can tuna on 2 slices whole wheat bread
12:00 - 8oz chicken & 1 med sweet potato
2:30 - 6oz low fat yogurt & apple
5:00 - Pre-workout - 1 scoop whey & banana & 5g BCAA
7:00 - Post-workout - 2 scoops Surge & 1 wheat bagel & 10g creatine & 5 g BCAA
9:00 - 9oz flounder (yuck!) & 2 servings green beans & 1 med sweet potato
10:30 - 8oz 1% cottage cheese & 1 scoop casein
Anyting you think should be changed?

Seriously? Dude, you gave the impression that you were choking it down a few times a day. No problem then.
Drop the sweet potato and swap the flounder for some red meat or a not-super-lean cut of some other meat. That late at night, there’s really no need for many carbs. Even though it’s your post-workout solid food meal, you’re already having a bagel with your Surge.
If you’re trying to get lean, that’s the route I’d suggest. On a related note, I’d drop the pre-workout banana. Again, it’s carbs you don’t exactly “need” if you’re trying to get lean.
Thanks for the feedback…I guess more of my point was I realize I don’t like eating fish. I was eating it because of the nutritional value but it just was getting too disatisfying taste-wise.
Why in the hell do you want something low-fat? Are you trying to lower your testosterone levels or something?
