Pescatarian Meal Plan

A pescatarian is someone who incorporates fish and seafood into their diet, but avoids proteins such as red meat and poultry. In fact, pescatarians are often compared to vegetarians in the way that wholegrains, vegetables, nuts, legumes and healthy fats make up a lot of their diet, just with the added benefits of fish and seafood for Omega 3s and healthy proteins. Find out more about a pescatarian diet, including its benefits, its differences from other diets and how you can incorporate more fish into your lifestyle.

Benefits of a Pescatarian Diet

Thinking of cutting out poultry and red meat but still want a way to get some healthy proteins in? Well, a pescatarian diet might just be for you. A pescatarian diet has so many benefits, as if followed in a balanced and healthy way allows you to eat more fibre and healthy fats, which can help protect you from diseases like Type 2 Diabetes. A pescatarian diet is also a great choice for those who want to avoid poultry and red meat for personal reasons, as it allows you to get your daily protein intake without eating meat - it’s also a good start for someone wanting to gradually change their diet to vegetarian or vegan.

<h2>What makes Pescatarians different from Vegetarians and Vegans</h2>

What makes Pescatarians different from Vegetarians and Vegans

In short terms, what makes pescatarians different from vegetarians and vegans is simply the consumption of fish. Usually pescatarians will eat a plant based diet, with the added benefits of fish, seafood and dairy, while a vegetarian will usually avoid all animal products with the exception of dairy.

Vegans, however, will only eat completely plant-based products, therefore will not consume any animal products including red meat, poultry, dairy and fish. There are some great alternatives out there for those who follow a completely vegan diet, including some here at HelloFresh. You can check out our vegan recipes here.

Our FAQ section gives you the answers to some of our most commonly asked queries! We hope it helps.

Can you follow a pescatarian diet with HelloFresh?

Yes! It’s super easy to follow a pescatarian diet with HelloFresh. We have a pescatarian meal plan that combines meals from our vegetarian meal plan, alongside a few of the week’s fish and seafood recipes to keep you happy and satisfied throughout the week.

Is a pescatarian diet healthy?

If followed in a balanced way, a pescatarian diet can be super healthy and even help protect you from health complications such as diabetes and high blood pressure thanks to being high in healthy fats and fibre. Like all diets, though, if you combine your pescatarian diet with high amounts of saturated fats, sugar and salt, you’re not going to reap the same benefits.

How much fish should a pescatarian eat?

Fish is extremely healthy and full of healthy fats and omega-3 fatty acids, however you do have to be careful of its mercury content. It’s recommended by the Irish Heart Foundation that you eat around two to three portions of fish per week.

How many meals are on the pescatarian menu each week?

With your meal kit delivery, you can choose from our selection of five delicious veggie options and two fish or seafood recipes from our weekly menu.
