Seafood Calculator
Seafood Calculator
You may have read in a previous blog about a calculator that
estimates the mercury exposure in your body called the Got Mercury? Calculator,
but what about a calculator that helps you measure how much seafood to consume
first?
Environmental Working
Group created a Seafood Calculator that allows you to select from a customized
list of seafood that are high in Omega-3’s and low in mercury. It even rates
sustainability based on location and harvest methods, directly linked to
Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch Program, which was also previously
blogged about.

Based on a 4 oz. serving size, the chart will determine the
consumption sizes of each type of seafood, adding its weekly mercury. If that
does not help you determine the type of fish to eat and suggests the amount, I
don’t know what will! Try it out and see the difference for yourself. Don't forget to tell your seafood-loving
friends about it, too!
The best way to eat seafood is the safe way!
