You can't eat seafood at every meal or even every day, so plant-based proteins are an essential part of a pescatarian diet. "Making sure to have enough protein throughout the day is usually the trickiest part of any [plant-based diet]," Brigitte said. And this is one nutrient you don't want to skimp on. "Protein helps boost brain cognition, keeping you feeling focussed and alert throughout the day, and also builds strong muscles and bones," she continued.
To make sure you get your fill, reach for nuts like almonds, pistachios, and walnuts; nut butters; hemp seeds; and legumes like lentils, beans, peas, and chickpeas.
