A Tasty Low Fat Recipe To Treat Your Guests With While Keeping In Shape

If you are trying to keep in shape during the winter there is no reason why you have to serve your guests tasteless food. You will be amazed at how tasty well prepared low fat food really can be. To give you an example here is a recipe to try. No one will complain if you serve this to them on any holiday!

Low Fat Island White Fish Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium sweet onion
  • 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large zucchini, sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, pressed
  • 1 - 14 1/2 ounce can diced tomatoes (Italian seasoned)
  • 16 ounces firm mild white fish
  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: large green olives sliced in half (of course this will make it not really so low in fat!)

Instructions:

  1. Slice onion, bell pepper and zucchini and set aside.
  2. Mix together pressed garlic with the tomato.
  3. Spread the onion, bell pepper and zucchini slices in a baking dish.
  4. Spoon half tomato mixture over that, distribute evenly.
  5. Top with fish fillets.
  6. Spritz fillets with cooking oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to your liking.
  7. Spoon the other half of tomato mixture over top of that.
  8. Cover with foil.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 - 30 minutes.

Can also be wrapped in layer of foil and cooked on grill or over a campfire. (Here a Weber One Touch Charcoal Grill will come in really handy when it gets a little hotter)

Serve this tasty fish with a little steamed rice and a green salad and you have a very tasty low fat meal. For a good rice cooker having a look at the Zojirushi 6 Cup Rice Cooker Steamer is a good idea.

Of course staying in shape during the winter demands more than only low fat eating! You have to keep up with your training as well. If you are a cyclist, a Kurt Kinetic Road Machine Indoor Trainer is the ideal solution.
