This is delicious, easy, visually appealing, and really good for you and your physique. One caveat, the portion sizes may be a little too small for men over 170lbs. So, if that’s you, add some nuts to your asparagus, or eat an extra fillet.
Tilapia
| 3 large Tilapia fillets (6 oz per) | 492 kcal |
| Lots of Jane’s “Krazy Mixed-up Seasoning” brand Lemon-Pepper seasoning (comes in a small salt shaker-like container, definitely available at Whole Foods, pretty inexpensive, but fantastic) | 10 kcal |
| Cooking spray | 30 kcal |
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 425°F.

- Serve with the asparagus recipe (which can be made while the tilapia is cooking, giving you a total of 3 fully-prepared low-carb meals)
