Sustainable Fitness: Small Habits That Make a Big Difference (Fish and Fitness)

Stay committed!

Once I got a good look at myself after doing some dance routines and getting a tiny bit of spotlight, I decided it was time to get back into my fitness routine. Like many of you, I do really well for six or seven months, get into great shape, and then get a little loose with my eating and pack on a few pounds. The key is finding something sustainable over the long term—good eating habits and consistent workout habits.

How much you work out depends on your fitness goals. Wanting to be at top-performance levels is different from simply being in good shape, but both require mindful eating and fueling your body with nutrients that support both physical and mental health. Fish and shrimp are excellent options to incorporate into your meals.

Fish is relatively low in calories, high in protein, and helps you reach your daily protein goals. For example, if you’re around 200 pounds—maybe not in terrible shape but still trying to lose a little weight and build muscle—fish can be a great lean protein source. It also provides omega-3s, which support brain health.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been getting back to the gym and returning to my routine. According to the calculators, I need around 3,000 calories a day, including roughly 140–150 grams of protein. Fruits and vegetables also play an important role, so I like to mix them with lean meats and add a little spice to keep things interesting.

I’m a licensed fitness trainer and yoga instructor and have been involved in various sports and activities throughout my life. If you want some help, feel free to reach out—we can work together virtually. And if you’re feeling unsure of your skills or fitness level, don’t worry. We all start from the same "need to improve" place. Consistency and the right habits make all the difference.

Not bad approximately 200K 6 oz of shrimp and 40 grams of protein.
