My daughter and I are trying to eat healthier, so I am sharing some of the dishes that we are eating each week.
Tilapia, Green Beans and Salad
We like seafood and found that the pre-portioned frozen Tilapia is only 100 calories for a small fillet. So that's what we used for this dinner. My daughter used some tarter sauce with hers, my plate didn't have the tarter sauce on it. You don't realize how many calories that condiments have until you start counting calories. I used no-calorie cooking spray to cook the Tilapia with. Season your fish however you like. I used Old Bay, smoked paprika, McCormick Mesquite seasoning and lemon juice.
We cheated a little bit and used canned green beans because the store I went to didn't have fresh green beans but the can of green beans was only 20 calories for 1/2 cup. sounded good to me. Then we made salad to go with it. The salad had cucumbers, sliced mushrooms, avocado, and I used my fat free Ranch that only has 35 calories for 2 TBSP serving.
This dinner was 200 calories and 10 carbs.
Do you like avocado in your salad?
I don't like avocados. My favorite fish is Coho salmon, and when it shows up in the store, I buy a lot of it and then freeze it. Yum.
ReplyDeleteI can't eat fresh green beans. I never had them as a child, only canned. The fresh ones taste really weird to me and I just... can't.
Also, any kind of meat... chicken, fish, beef... my condiment of choice is ketchup. Which I *did* have a lot of as a child.
That looks so good and only 200 cals wow! I love avocados and mushrooms :-D
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day and I think this is a great meal. I like frozen or canned green beans better than fresh. I used to grow my own and liked them better after I canned them.
ReplyDeleteLooks good, except for the green beans. I have an aversion to them going back to my childhood! I often buy fish from Costco these days and the filets are individually wrapped. I am sure I have salmon, flounder, cod in the freezer.
ReplyDeleteI love avocado but don't buy it now because my husband mustn't eat it. Your meal looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge fan of avocado except in guacamole.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are continuing to eat healthy, it will become a lifestyle change hopefully.
ReplyDeleteThey say Tilapia is healthy for you and if prepared right delicious.
ReplyDeleteLooks good to me, I like Tilapia!
