· · Poultry
· · Fish*
· · Pulses**
· · Beans**

*Fish includes frozen and canned fish such as
sardines and tuna, fish fingers and fish cakes. Aim to
eat at least one portion of oily fish such as sardines
or salmon each week, as these contain oils which will
benefit the heart and help to keep it healthy.
** Beans and pulses are good alternatives to meat as
they are naturally very low in fat.
Choose lower fat versions whenever you can- e.g.
by cutting the fat off meat, removing the skin from
poultry and eating fish without the batter. Many of
these foods naturally contain fat so try to cook them
without adding any oil or extra fat.
