Squid

This is another popular seafood you can eat if you want to increase protein consumption. Squid is tasty and cheap but also versatile. You can boil it or eat it grilled, braised, or seared. Some people would even come up with recipes to eat it raw. It is rich in protein but also low in carbohydrates. However, unlike other seafood, it is not a absolute zero.

100 grams of squid contain close to 18 grams of protein. It also contains iron, calcium, and vitamin C. Squid is also a source of omega 3 fatty acids and a suitable drug for pregnant women. It has many nutrients you need to reduce cardiovascular risk, too.
