Seafood is a near-perfect macro target: grilled fish runs 22-25g protein per 4oz at well under 200 calories. Salmon and tuna add omega-3s; halibut, mahi, snapper, and cod are leaner still. The sneaky calories at any seafood spot are the preparations — beurre blanc, lemon butter, fried tempura, and creamy chowders all add 200-500 calories without bumping protein. Ask for fish grilled, broiled, or pan-seared with the sauce on the side, and pair it with a vegetable side instead of risotto or pasta.

For an athlete-ready order at Fish Cheeks, anchor on the protein and swap or skip the calorie-heavy sides. Best macro pick: Grilled salmon, mahi, or seared tuna (25-35g protein) with vegetables; sauce on the side. Watch out for: Fried platters, beurre blanc and lemon-butter preparations, and creamy chowders — 200-500 calories of hidden fat.
