                                According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, a balanced diet includes a variety of protein foods, including seafood, lean meats, and poultry. A carnitarian, however, follows a selective pattern by eating meat but explicitly avoiding fish and seafood. This specialized dietary choice is driven by various factors, from health concerns to personal preference.
