Fabulous Affordable and Flavorful meals under 500 calories

ROUGH DRAFT!!!!


First of all, there are so many "meals for under 500 calories" articles out there, but they fail to take in a couple of things to account.
Most of us will not buy "special" ingredients for just a meal or two.
So based on my own kitchen , which admittedly might be slightly more eclectic than some,yet I don't feel its too far off the beaten path.

Please spend some time on  the "My Pantry" page too  to see a list of ingredients  and pantry staples I always keep on hand.

4 oz Steamed Fish fillet- any type- whichever you prefer 110 cal.
6 oz steamed brown rice -162 cal.
1 c steamed broccoli 31 cal.
1/2 c salsa- 35 cal
1/2 avocado chopped 130 cal(appx)
1 Tsp minced garlic 5 cal
pepper to taste

using a rice steamer , prepare the rice and broccoli in  the steamer- when nearly finished- about 7 minutes left, add the fish fillet on top sprinkled with pepper and garlic
when steamer shuts off, let it rest for 5- 6 minutes,  cut and chop your 1/2 of avocado and mix in with the salsa serve rice with broccoli and fish fillet on top covering with the salsa mixture.
