i wonder how healthy that oily tilapia sole was for me to eat?

Very healthy. Oily fish contain lots of Omega 3 fatty acids, which are good fat, and especially good for brain development.

It's especially beneficial if you're pregnant or planning to get pregnant, because it helps babies' brain growth. It's one of the best foods to eat during pregnancy - as long as the fish hasn't been exposed to a lot of mercury.

They're not unhealthy but some of them have over a thousand calories. If I have one of those for lunch, in addition to whatever I had for breakfast and dinner, there's a good chance of the thousand calorie burger pushing my calories over what they should be.

Not enough carbs in your diet leads to ketosis, which is not a healthy state to be in.

Ketosis (not to be confused with Ketoacidosis) is a normal, perfectly healthy metabolic state.

"ketoacidosis" is a state that one can certainly reach when one is diabetic.

Tell that to my stomach...it usually gets all crampy if I eat too much beef.
I've never been a huge beef fan, anyway. I'd much rather have a pork chop or some chicken.

Being that I’m about 50 miles from Bawlmer (aka Baltimore), I prefer my shrimp the same way I prefer Blue Crab: steamed in beer (preferably National Bohemian, Carling Black Label or Yuenglimg, and plenty of McCormick’s Old Bay Seasoning. (Which is next to impossible to find outside Bawlmer, Warshington, DC, Northern Virginia, and South Central PA.

I eat burgers all of the time!

My local store has an in house bakery where the bread is made fresh daily.
They also sell outstanding beef chicken pork and smokey bacon.
Locally grown lettuce, also nice fresh tomatoes cucumber onions and when it's in season avocado.

Needless to say I make my own cafe style burgers at home and find it quite filling and they're probably reasonably nutritious.
Probably costs about $2 per burger and there's no over processed garbage in it.
