Healthy and Filling Summer Dinner Option
Tilapea fillets brushed lightly with olive oil and sprinkled with lemon broiled in oven
Rice and freshly steamed brussell sprouts.
For the healthy conscience of those on a restricted diet this dish is refreshingly light,delicious to the pallet and low in calorie.
For any Weight Watcher members this is an 8.5 point meal.
Brussell sprouts are a free food and require 0 point value. Having a serving of 3- 3 oz tilapea fillet's are 2 points per each fillet and a 1/2 cup of white rice is 2.5 points.
Eating fish can provide an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals that benefit your general health, The American Heart Association recommends at least two servings of fish per week to help prevent heart disease, lower blood pressure, and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
For those reasons I am incorporating more fish and less red meat in our diet.
A good meal indeed! Love the daisy - adds a really pretty touch to the plate! :)
ReplyDeleteAs for me, I limit fillets to about six ounces in a meal and 12-16 ounces in a week. Also, I vary fish choices such as tilapia one day and mahi mahi another. Also, varying warm- and cold- water fishes adds variety and different vitamin groups. Keep in mind that Brussel sprouts do have carbs - approx. 5 grams per each 1/2 cup serving. Though in moderation they are high on vitamin C, fiber, and carotenoids. Also, try brown rices which, overall, are much better for the body than white.
Sounds good!
