Grilled Tuna Steak With Eggplant Fries

Friday October 7, 2016 MENU

I started my Friday eating leftover pizza.  Which was very filling.  For lunch I ate my leftover biscuit with the chicken pot pie filling placed on top.  I did my food diary and found that my calories were just a little higher than I liked.  When it came time for a snack I grazed on some grapes.  After work I went did my 20 minute cardio and weight training the rest of the hour.  For supper I defrosted some grilled tuna steak and my mom had diced up an eggplant from the garden that we fried up like french fries.  Now I could have eaten a lot less fat by not frying the eggplant.  But, I live in Louisiana and I just didn't want to have it any other way.  Now I can say that the tuna steak is a great meat option.  A whole tuna steak from the Daily Chef products average 4oz each.  That tuna steak was seasoned with Montreal steak seasoning and grilled on a Sam's mini grill.  It weighed in at a whopping 120 calories and 1 fat.  There are not many meat options with that few calories for that much meat.  If you had beef roast that same 4oz would be 210 calories and 12 fats.  If you like meat and you are needing to drop calories and fat try you some tuna steak.  Just remember season and cook it just like a beef steak.  These steaks I cooked on a high flame, 3 minutes per side.  Yep in 6 minutes I was done cooking.  I finished the day with a total of 1172 calories for the day.  I was under my calories by 158.   I say that is pretty good after eating pizza for breakfast and a biscuit with pot pie mix on top that weighed in at 849 calories combined.  If you like my meal ideas just check out my diary for a list of ingredients for that meal.  And yes! I measured and weighed everything.  A crucial part of everyone's dieting is will power. The second part is portion control with good choices and third is physical activity.

It's how southern women diet!

Happy Eating
