MyPyramid says most meat and poultry choices should be lean or low-fat. Fish, nuts, and seeds contain healthy oils, so choose these foods frequently instead of meat or poultry.
Well, my out to eat streak has finally come to an end. Lloyd and I moved from Newport, RI on Friday and are now at our respective parents' homes in Texas through the holiday. We're meeting up in Washington, DC December 30 to prepare for a few days, and then our wedding is on January 3. Two days later, it's off to Hawaii!
No better time than a dreary, drizzly day in Newport to announce our duty station for the next three years. The morning of Jan. 5, two days after our wedding, Lloyd and I will be on a plane to our honeymoon/new home - the island of Oahu, Hawaii! We feel lucky and thrilled to have been selected for this location. And it works out wonderfully for me and the blog - Hawaii is a spectacular seafood spot.
I am a registered dietitian with the National Fisheries Institute, so fish is my nutrition forte. I earned my BA in Communication from Southwestern University, just outside of Austin, TX. During college, one of my very favorite evening outings was a leisurely trip to the grocery market. My passion for food was undeniable, so I combined both of my interests by earning my MS in Nutrition Communication from Tufts University in Boston, MA. As well as my Registered Dietitian (RD) credential through the University of Delaware.
Beyond reading scientific studies about docosahexaenoic acid and selenium, I love to entertain, travel, watch reality TV, grill outdoors, and go to spin class. I live in Kailua, HI on the island of Oahu where my husband serves as a US Marine Corps JAG.
People in Hawaii eat more fish and shellfish than average, but over 80 percent of typical Americans don't eat seafood at least twice per week. Doctors and dietitians like me say that's the goal, so BlogAboutSeafood is here to show you just what plenty of seafood looks like in an RD's real-life diet.
