Lean fish with strong omega-3 profile (higher than sea bass). ~26g protein per 3.5 oz serving. Excellent anti-inflammatory properties align with Zone philosophy. Ideal protein and fat source.

Fatty freshwater fish with significant omega-3 content (ALA and some EPA/DHA). Strong anti-inflammatory profile. Lower mercury than ocean predatory fish. Excellent protein and micronutrient source.

GLP-1 FriendlyApproved

Trout provides excellent protein (20-22g per 3 oz cooked), moderate fat (5-7g per 3 oz) that is primarily omega-3 rich and anti-inflammatory. High nutrient density with selenium, B vitamins, and vitamin D. Easy to digest and works well in small portions.
