Healthy or Not? (Christina)


Ok, so I just saw this on QVC, Southwest Tilapia, and I want to know if it’s healthy.  I’m not much for seafood, but I know fish is good for you and some are healthy, so I thought I might try this.

The nutritional info is serving size 5.875 oz, 280 calories, 12g fat (5g saturated, 0 trans fat), 26g protein, 410mg sodium, 55mg cholesterol.

What do you think?

If you’d like to check them out, go to www.qvc.com and search for item# M15584.

  1. Hmm. It does look tasty. Kinda high in fat though and I’m not sure if it’s good fat. (salmon - for example is high in fat but it’s good fat) I also see 5g of saturated fat.

    Still - only 280 cals if you only have one piece. Probably isn’t too bad for a dinner once in awhile. Assuming one piece will do it for ya. Two pieces plus sides and you’re getting too much.

  2. Kalyn’s kitchen has a couple of recipes for Tilipia. I’ve never seen it, but I don’t think we get them here (UK).

  3. We’ve got a few on here too. Just search Tilapia.
