Fish Tacos (these are great even if it sounds not so great. and you don't have to use a taco shell just make the plate.)
Get the frozen Tilapia comes in a pack of 6 filets. 1 filet = 3 ozs.
1/2 Tilapia Fillet
1/4 Cup cooked Brown Rice
1/2 cup fresh spinach (rinse the prewashed bag of spinach)
1 Medium Tomato or use Salsa
1Tbls grated cheese
2 Taco Shell
Thaw Fish
Cook fish in broiler. Or cook fish over medium heat in pan with light olive oil. Sprinkle with Taco Seasoning (very light, maybe 1/4 tsp per filet).
Cook 2 minutes flip fillet add 1/4 cup water to pan. Cover with lid and cook 2 more minutes. Remove from Heat. You are done!
Layer rice, fish, spinach, cheese salsa. Add cilantro and Jalapeno and Black Beans if you like. Little squeeze of Lime juice.

2 Tacos with the Beans = 340 calories
YOU CAN"T BEAT IT!!! Fewer calories leave off the beans. So you have 2 meals that you use the Black Bean, Rice, Tomato and herbs make 2 Totally different meals. Easy shopping makes an inexpensive weeks worth of meals.

thanks Donna, they both sound good!
I could do the tacos. They sound good.
I am soooooo hungry lately!!!!! Almonds don't even help. Will power holds up most of the time, and I have been getting at least 240 minutes on the treadmill for the last 2 weeks. Had to pick up the pace and include an incline on some days. Hunger, please go away......!!!!
