docwebsterTonight's menu -
Smoked grilled salmon fillet (Balsamic vinegar and roasted garlic marinade I got from Tyler Florence on Food Network)
Smoked grilled scallops (Teriyaki and honey marinade)
Don't know the exact fat content, but I'll lay odds it's pretty minimal.
Broccoli with hollandaise (Probably the only item with any real fat content, but the "butter" used is lite margarine with calcium)

1- Even though some of the fat in Salmon is Omega 3 fattie acids (which are good for your LD cholesterol)it is still the fattiest fish you can get :( How about some Cod or Orange Roughy or even Snapper, white fish tend to be lower in fat.
2- Margarine actually has the same properties as butter when it comes to fat. Get this.... margarine IS lower in fat than butter until they hydrogenize it to make it solid. After that it is just as bad as butter. You know why the french are somewhat healthier than us? Because at the dinner table they dip their bread in oil instead of smearing it with butter. Liquid fats are healthier than solids...remember that. (p.s. it has to be liquid at room temp....no melting crisco and calling it healthy! :P)
3- The yolks (which make Hollandaise) contain the protein...which (duh) contain some fat.
4- Teriyaki contains a lot of sugar (its basically sweet condensed soy sauce with fish sauce and other flavors) And you know all that sugar gets converted to carbs which then turn to fat.
Sorry honey but thats what you get for having a prof. chef for a friend! :P ynaaaaa

Date: 2002-09-06 05:18 pm (UTC)Breakfast
2 mediumish peaches
Lunch
1/2 cp of succotash (corn and lima beans for those of you who dont do southern food)
1/2 cp of vermicelli noodles with parmesagn cheese (roughly about a tablespoons worth Shredded fresh parmesagn doesnt measure well) and a palms full worth of parsley thrown in. and 3-5 oz of halibut steak baked with lemon pepper
Dinner
1 bowl (1 1/2 cp) of beef stew
2 buscuits
Throughout the day I had 3 caffeine free diet Dr Peppers and about 32 oz of water.
It might help you to keep a little notebook and put everything in there. Are you a taster when you cook? Write it down. You would be amazed. I have dropped around 100 lbs since I had Jason. I have been after Mike to move my excersize bike upstairs. Do you have a semi recumbant bike? They are supposed to be better as it supposedly has some effect on your blood pressure. I have one because I can climb on the dang thing. (the price of being short)
Take this with a grain of salt if its not what you want to do. Of course, you could always just tell me to piss off :
