The United States Department of Agriculture says twice a week, make seafood the protein on your plate. Increase the amount and variety of seafood consumed by choosing seafood in place of some meat and poultry.
Lloyd and I saw a movie over the weekend and stopped at Paulie’s Coal Fired Pizza afterwards for a bite to eat. You may recall that, historically, Lloyd and I disagree about the merits of anchovies as a pizza topping. I love them and he hates them, to the point that they ruin his half of the pizza even if they’re only on my half. A strange phenomenon occured now that I’m pregnant, however. Lloyd proactively suggested we get anchovies as an addition to the Paulie’s Signature Pizza (tomatoes, basil, garlic, olive oil, and cheese). Turns out he can tolerate them so baby can get a powerful dose of omega-3s. And I guess I just luck out for being the delivery mechanism and liking anchovies.
Rima Kleiner, MS, RD
I am passionate about good food, cooking, and helping others prepare healthy and tasty meals. Fish—packed with omega-3 fatty acids and protein—is a staple of those meals. In my role as a registered dietitian with the National Fisheries Institute, I track and translate the latest news on the nutritional benefits of seafood. My background includes degrees in Human Nutrition and Communications. I work with food and beverage groups, as well as individuals, teach nutrition to culinary students and create wellness programs for employers. I also often provide commentary for news media. When I am not cooking a healthy meal or running after my two young children, you can find me running, hiking or practicing yoga.
Jennifer McGuire, MS, RD
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. 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. I live in Beaufort, SC where my husband serves as a US Marine Corps Judge Advocate. I love to entertain, travel, watch reality TV, grill outdoors, run, and practice yoga.
