If you're like me, I'm always trying to get more fish in my diet. The problem I've found is that the go to preparation for fish recipes is to deep fry it and recommend serving with fried hush puppies, french fries, mayonnaise laden slaw and everything else under the sun to make a super healthy protein as unhealthy as possible. Even baked fish recipes often contain large amounts of butter and breading that can contain as much unhealthy fat as the fried versions.

I don't know about you, but around 4pm I start getting a twinge of hunger. Of course, I can easily work through it but I find if I don't snack on something then I'll be ravenous at dinner and most often eat more than I should. Apparently I'm not alone since the Mayo Clinic posted an article about how snacks can be a valid part of a weight loss plan.
