Good doses
 

Salmon is a great way to get good doses of muscle-building protein and omega-3s. These fats are usually touted for their ability to reduce the risk of heart disease, but they may also help you maintain your weight. According to a 2010 review, eating a diet rich in omega-3s may be beneficial for reducing body weight and body fat, though it acknowledged most studies have occurred over a relatively short time period. Still, you won’t find any scientific evidence saying bad things about this fatty fish.
