Sardines, the poor man's protein?
For those of us who cringe at the thought of spending $3.50 (Cdn) on a protein bar, what about sardines?
I have been having a tin of Brunswick sardines before bed, every night as my 6th "meal" of the day. At $.90 per tin, they certainly suit my budget:
Energy 237 Cal
Protein 22g
Fat 16g
Carbohydrates 0g
Sodium 299 mg
Potassium 320 mg
Other than the fact that eating little fish before bed takes an aquired taste, is there anything wrong with using sardines as a convenient way to add 22 grams of protein to my late-night diet?
Thanks,
Eric

They are either in soya oil or spring water.
The ones in spring water have a little less sodium: 270 mg. Perhaps rinsing them would lower that a bit. The ones in spring water also have a lot less fat: 8g.
So the ones in spring water win hands down over the ones in soya oil.
Thanks for the replies,
Eric
