Spend little on fishery products
The smoked swordfish carpaccio is excellent, the scallops are excellent au gratin and how not to enjoy the shrimp prepared with salt cooking; on the other hand, it is too expensive food for most people to read.
While appreciating it, I am not a big supporter of salmon consumption. This fish, which can be successfully bred, must be fed with caught shrimp, which does not make this activity environmentally sustainable. Abolished from the halibut diet, African perch and other non-European farmed fish; rather, orient yourself on a good frozen ocean fish "on board" or, even better, on the less valuable coastal fish: mullet, murmurs, salps, boghe etc. Remember that all (or almost) fish are excellent, but for some it is necessary that they be FRESH, immediately gutted and cooked properly. As far as shellfish is concerned, I guarantee to all the consumers of shrimp and shrimp that a simple tomato sauce with one or two "rena" crabs will give flavors and aromas never felt before, as well as a lower intake of energy and cholesterol. With regard to shellfish, it is possible to indulge; for the bivalves, the mussels are the masters, for the gastropods, the famous snails can be replaced by large and very tasty "rapari" (but watch out for the preparation! They have such an intense taste that they can stomach if present in excess), cephalopods are recommended dormice, squid, squid and sometimes cuttlefish. For ALL foods, but especially for fishery products, the importance of the source of supply is crucial. ALWAYS prefer (if possible) products at "0 km" or in short chain and ABSOLUTELY those of the season; price fluctuations can reach 2 or 3 times the total. Then there are less commercial fish (although I don't understand why); this is the case with trout, tench, pike, perch, catfish, whitefish, burbot, perch-trout, pike-perch, etc. They are freshwater fish also available at 3-4 euros / kg; very thin and with very tasty meats, they have the only disadvantage of possessing a greater quantity of thorns than the average of those of sea and valley.
Spend a little on the eggs
Eggs are foods that can be consumed in smaller portions or equal to 150-180g a week, due to the high cholesterol content. Let's say that the price difference between a quality egg and another poorer one is the type of farming used. The extensive ones have higher costs than the intensive ones, but certainly lower if compared to the organic product. The choice of eggs obtained from land-based and extensive farming can be the right compromise.

Recently we are witnessing the spread of an egg derivative, that is only the albumen. This, which almost contains no fat and cholesterol, is instead rich in protein. For those who like consumption it is possible to buy it in the form of pasteurized liquid in brick; it is cheap, it allows very high portions (as it is also rich in water) and boasts a satiating power worthy of note. But pay attention to the origin!
Spend little on milk and dairy products
The choice is also very limited towards milk and dairy products. With regard to milk, the only useful advice is to favor Italian companies, which, despite being characterized by a slightly higher price than foreign ones, guarantee better quality and safety; the same goes for yoghurts. As for the cheeses the circle narrows further; in the context of a slimming diet, there are not many useful products, since these are foods with a high energy density. Better to concentrate your research on: low-fat milk flakes, semi-skimmed milk ricotta and mozzarella (not to be seasoned with oil or sugar). The ability to obtain supplies from producer-sellers sometimes does not guarantee thinness. Citing the distributors of raw milk instead, despite involving a food with a remarkable taste, regardless of the price, we remind you that this must necessarily be pasteurized or sterilized at home, jeopardizing the desirable organoleptic and taste characteristics.
