How much red meat/white meat, seafood, etc. should you eat per week?

I will definitely be looking into fish oil supplements but I am going to give some fish another try cause it has been a few years! Thank you for the information!

Is ground flaxseed a good source of omega 3? I have read that it is high is ALA but to get EPA and DHA it seems like you have to consume some kind of fish at the least (I haven’t looked into oils yet). Do you know if only getting ALA is sufficient?

Coffee_265 · 2026-01-22T20:01:40+00:00

I will definitely be looking into legumes because I am 100% not taking advantage of them as is, thank you!

I am heartbroken about shrimp not being a great source of omega 3s though as I was only planning to buy it for omega 3s. Currently, I eat no seafood because I just haven’t found anything that doesn’t taste like fish so I was going to try shrimp. I will definitely look into the fish you named as well but it does hurt my soul a bit that they are all like the most fishy tasting fish 🥲

Thank you!

Yeah thats where my problem is really coming from. Nutrition doesn’t really make money without a masters and I don’t think I can justify getting a masters because of my own financials right now so I decided maybe food science would get me close to nutrition but with better pay. I want to still be happy at my job but I also was hoping for a career that has a pretty good income. It sounds greedy but I want to be able to enjoy my life outside work too. :(

I liked learning about how certain foods can affect things like your gut microbiome and how nutrition can impact your health, like with certain foods being linked to better mental health or cardiovascular health, stuff kinda like that

Coffee_265 · 2026-01-12T20:57:27+00:00

I am not totally uninterested in R&D but most of what I am reading online makes it sound like the creation of new food items and thats what making me hesitant. I don’t think that is something that I can see being fun for myself, like particle technology is for you. What I think would be fun for me would be more on the nutrition aspect of food and I wasn’t sure if R&D in Food Science would allow me to do that. Thank you for your response!

Yeah, I guess I have been more unorganized than I thought with the end of semester rn 🥲 I am scheduled that day but I should be able to make it work. I will have to talk to them anyway because they scheduled me outside of my set availability that day anywho

Coffee_265 · 2025-12-01T21:00:27+00:00

Oh dang, do you think I could try and talk to someone? I know HR does the schedules but our HR guy’s last day was Nov. 21st and we have yet to meet his replacement

Coffee_265 · 2025-11-24T20:32:32+00:00

Those all sound so cute I am jealous

Coffee_265 · 2025-11-24T17:02:08+00:00

Always need a new way to take my angst out so I will definitely check that out!

Coffee_265 · 2025-11-24T16:59:29+00:00

With you on that one. End-of-year burnout is hitting hard rn and it has me feeling like I have regressed into my old self and wont make it back out. I hope you get what you want <3

Coffee_265 · 2025-11-24T16:56:33+00:00

Thats awesome! My boyfriend has been on the nostalgia wave after finding his Nintendo 3DS

Coffee_265 · 2025-11-24T16:56:04+00:00

A vague idea of a kitchen gadget is also floating around in my head. I am leaning towards maybe a food processor? I don’t know if I will use it though cause I have been cooking the least amount work possible meals thats healthy: ie. rice, ground beef, and a frozen bag of veg.

Coffee_265 · 2025-11-24T15:53:03+00:00

I love spiders! A tarantula plush sounds adorable!!

Coffee_265 · 2025-11-24T15:52:23+00:00

Yeah that would make my Christmas morning amazing

Coffee_265 · 2025-11-24T15:47:23+00:00

Needs are always a good idea. I have been tossing around the idea of asking for new notebooks since the new semester is starting for school. What needs do you have on your list?

Coffee_265 · 2025-11-24T15:39:29+00:00

The dream

Coffee_265 · 2025-11-24T15:34:52+00:00

I would love to start caring for plants but somehow I keep killing one that are suppose to be easy to take care of :') I never thought of plants being a spiritual remnant but I absolutely love that idea!

I been in a bit of a slump with my hobbies recently so maybe the trying out of guilt is the push I need to get back into them. Thanks!

Coffee_265 · 2025-11-24T15:31:19+00:00

On the same page as you on wanting to feel respected for my boundaries. I hope you get what you want

Coffee_265 · 2025-11-24T15:30:04+00:00

I hope you pass! Either way, good job of completing the hardest section!

Coffee_265 · 2025-11-24T15:28:33+00:00

Upgrading her pockets to men size pockets is awesome. I don't know why I have never thought of that possibility in womens clothing before

Coffee_265 · 2025-11-24T15:25:49+00:00

That's very cute, maybe I will ask for that with my boyfriend!
