The American Heart Association recommends eating two servings of fish each week, or about 7 ounces per week, to help reduce your risk for heart disease.
Protein
Tilapia is a high-quality, complete protein and contains all the essential amino acids your body requires from your diet to help build proteins. One 3.5-ounce portion of tilapia cooked using dry heat contains about 26 grams of protein.
Omega-3s
Tilapia is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for growth and development in children and brain function.
Weight Control
Eating tilapia on a regular basis may help you control your body weight. Tilapia is naturally low in fat, and only contains about 128 calories in each 3.5-ounce portion.
