Why Sardines Are So Good for You

While not quite as big as tuna (both in popularity and physical size) sardines are a versatile nutritional powerhouse that you can easily add to your diet. Here’s what makes these mighty fish so good for you:

🐟Omega-3 Fatty Acids - Unsaturated fats in sardines can lead to lower inflammation and triglyceride levels in your body.

🐟Protein - You’ll find 33g of protein per can, typically.

🐟Lower Chronic Disease Risk - The combo of nutrients in sardines such as omega-3s, the amino acid taurine, and vitamin D can help to lower your risk of diabetes and heart disease if eaten twice a week.

🐟Vitamin B12 - One can yields 555% of your daily B12 needs. This helps support nerve function and red blood cell formation as well as absorb protein and fat.

🐟Calcium - Because their bones are edible, a can of bone-in sardines can provide you with 44% of your daily calcium needs.

🐟Low in Mercury - Because they only eat plankton, sardines are much lower in mercury than some other larger fish that are higher up in the food chain. You’d have to eat 32 cans of sardines per week to accumulate toxic levels of mercury.

🐟Budget-Friendly - You can usually get a can of wild-caught sardines for less than a couple bucks.

🐟Shelf-Stable - In most cases, you have a couple years to consume a can of sardines.

🐟Versatile - Eat sardines on a salad with your favorite dressing or salsa, with crackers, or straight out of the can.

    Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years.   My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday.  Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change.   Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds.  I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons.  Something was missing.  I was thin, but I wasn't fit.  I wasn't healthy.  I could feel it in my insides.  I was 136 pounds and a size 8.  Something didn't add up.   I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods.  90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4). 
     
    Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it.  I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health.  My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

    December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born.  Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you.   Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN.  Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose. 

    Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business.  Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at amanda@simplypreppedmeals.com
