This dinner was 500 calories! And the best part about it was it was low in sodium, filling, and was cut into 2/3 smaller portions. One thing I do throughout my day with my meals is use smaller plates. I can not push the fact of how important this is, always use smaller plates, bowls, and eating utensils.
Breakdown of dinner:
1 cup Home made mashed potatoes: 200 calories
1 cup of cooked, canned corn 100
1 packet of Mahi Mahi fish, 60 calories (two pieces = 1 serving)
The Mahi Mahi was cooked with I can't believe it's not butter, which is another 90 calories (1 tbsp) and I also added half a lemon...Well, I squeezed the lemon juice onto the fish while I grilled it on the pan.
The Mahi Mahi cooks in about 7 minutes on the grill (when frozen), and the corn takes another 5 minutes. The mashed potatoes are homemade. No butter or milk added!
It's a very satisfying dinner, and the mahi mahi was delicious! It's an easy meal to make after school or after work!
One way that I count my caloric intake and activity intake is the counter on www.caloriecounter.about.com
It's an easy way to know everything you're taking in and what you're taking out, and if you have an iphone or blackberry they have apps that you can download on your phone so you can access the website anywhere and make good decisions no matter where you are!
