💪Protein & Nutrition Breakdown

Fish is an exceptionally lean protein source rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which play a role in reducing exercise-induced inflammation and supporting recovery. It digests quickly, making it an excellent choice around workouts. Each serving of Peruvian Fish Ceviche delivers 28g of protein at 260 calories — that's 9 calories per gram of protein, making it one of the more efficient protein sources on this site. Protein accounts for roughly 43% of total calories in this dish. The 20g of carbohydrates per serving provide energy for training, making this a well-rounded meal both pre- and post-workout. The 8g of fat primarily comes from the cooking method and protein source itself, keeping the overall calorie density low.

🥡Meal Prep & Storage

Ceviche is a fresh dish best enjoyed within 2 hours of preparation. The lime juice 'cooks' the fish through acid, but the texture continues to change and deteriorates quickly — leftovers become overly cured and mushy. If you must store it, keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 24 hours maximum. Never freeze ceviche — the raw fish texture will be ruined. If prepping for a group, prep all ingredients in advance and squeeze the lime juice 20–30 minutes before serving for peak freshness.
