For added crunch with fewer calories, use cornflakes instead of breadcrumbs to coat fish fillets. Not only do cornflakes contain fewer calories than breadcrumbs, it's less absorbent and give the fish a lighter covering, and the fish will soak up less oil.
Omega 3 fatty acids found in fish, particularly salmon, help support weight loss by regulating insulin levels. Many other fish proteins also cause a calorie deficit in digestion, which stimulates the body to use stored fat as a form of energy. In fact, fish is not the only fat burning food that is found in water. Frog legs, lobster, crab, oysters, and clams are other seafood that aid the body in burning fat.
