What kind of fitness? The sort of "fitness" that thinks walking is exercise?
What I'm trying to say is, commonly accepted points of view may be quite different from a BB's perspective. Eg. I googled for "recommended daily intake protein" and clicked on the 1st link (Protein - Better Health Channel.)
-----------
How much protein you need
The amount of protein you need in your diet depends on your weight, age and health. As a rough guide, the recommended dietary intake (RDI) for protein (measured in grams per kilogram of bodyweight) is:
- 0.75g/kg for adult women
- 0.84g/kg for adult men
- Around 1g/kg for pregnant and breastfeeding women, and for men and women over 70 years.
-----------
I eat 63g protein in 2 out of my 6 meals! And I weigh < 60kg. Just because the RDI for protein is ~63g per day doesn't mean we should all stick to that.
Re: fish oil caps - I do believe we need more than 1 per day - personally I would take at least 6 per day (1 with each meal).

My poor doc's copping a flogging! LOL
No, he runs as opposed to walking (nothing wrong with walking, one must walk before he can run) but no, he's not a body builder but a GENERAL PRACTITIONER.
He never recommended eating strictly tuna per say, either fresh or canned? I said seafood in general. I try to eat grilled fish of all sorts, bbq'ed swordfish steaks, squid, baby octopus and yes, now and then I pop open a can of tuna in springwater and have a couple of sandwiches for lunch.
I think he's point is to have a balance diet generally and supplement where needed.

Fair 'nuffdidn't mean to flog your gp, but have heard lots of general advice from GPs that just doesn't mesh with BB (eg. the protein example i mentioned already)
Couldn't agree more, some are generally crap! This one's not too bad so he'll keep

Yeah, I once went to a GP saying I was lethargic all the time. He asked me what I was doing and I mentioned how I BB and rockclimb, generally 6 days per week. He then said "well you can't be that tired then!" Turns out that I was overtraining and a week or two of rest did me wonders...

An idiot doctor tried telling my mate that all the protein he was eating was going to blow out his kidneys.My mate ,pulling his hair out, tried to make him
see that 500 grams of protein rich foods was NOT 500 grams of protein.
