To optimize fat loss, prioritize lean white fish such as cod or tilapia over salmon, as the latter is very high in fat and calories despite its health benefits.

From a purely energetic standpoint, this recommendation is very consistent: 100g of cod provides approximately 80 calories and less than one gram of lipids, compared to nearly 200 calories for salmon. Furthermore, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) published in the International Journal of Obesity by Ramel's team demonstrated that incorporating lean white fish into a weight loss protocol allowed for an effective reduction in fat mass. However, excluding salmon entirely would be detrimental to the body's overall balance. A systematic review published in Nutrients highlights that the omega-3s in fatty fish play a key role in metabolic regulation and vitality during a caloric deficit. Moreover, the combination of high-quality protein and lipids found in salmon offers valuable satiety to avoid cravings. The tip is therefore excellent for easily saving calories, but alternating between lean and fatty fish remains the most harmonious strategy.
