Nick made dinner tonight, and he even took the time to figure out the caloric value of all the foods on my plate. It was delcisious, wholesome, filling, and surprisingly low in calories. AND beautiful! (See picture above.) Here is what he prepared for us:
4 oz Swai filet - 90
1/2 cup of prepared Trader Joe's Harvest Blend Grain Mix - 170
1 cup Steamed Broccoli - 50
1 tsp oil for frying the fish - 40
1 tbsp flour to coat the fish - 35
8 oz red wine - 170
That works out to 555 calories for the entire meal, red wine included. I thought it was such a great meal because it included whole grains, lots of fresh veggies, protein, healthy fats and oils, AND wine to boot. (um... antioxidants... yeah, we'll go with that as our excuse for drinking red wine.) In addition, it was made with minimal processed ingredients. Bravo, Nick, what a great meal. Does this mean I have to cook tomorrow.... ;-)
