Dinner:
Todays dinner consisted of 1, 4 oz tilapia filet, 3/4 cup steamed brocoli and 1/2 cup of kidney beans (prepared earlier in the day)and of course 3 cups of water.
For the tilapia, I went with a recipe from the bag for poached tilapia in the microwave. It was very simple and tasted okay. I took the filet out at lunch and put it in the fridge to thaw. To prepare, all I did was put the filet in a dish with 1/2 cup of water and some onion, pepper and salt (with a little added lemon juice) and microwaved it for 5 minutes.
While the tilapia was getting nuked, I put 3/4 cup frozen brocoli into my steamer for the same amount of time (5 minutes).
I then covered, and steamed the brocoli for 5 minutes. Lastly, I measured out 1/2 cup of kidney beans from before. I ate them cold, but you could always heat them up.
The fish broke up quite a bit in the microwave, and didn’t look so good, but honestly it tasted pretty good for how basic it was.

This meal was on the light side, but filled me up decently. I would have liked it to be closer to 350 calories, but I will add a snack later.
Looking back, I probably would’ve added some sort of grain to the meal, but you live and learn.
