I've had a few boxes in the freezer for at least 6 months. I tried them when I was first able to go back on solid foods, but I found them to be too much chewing at the time. Back then I had to be very conscious of making sure I completely chewed everything down very well. Some foods just weren't palatable after a certain point. This was one of them, along with pot roast and salad. I still have to chew well, but not to the point I did before.
These things are so easy to make. Just spray a little baking pan with cooking spray, cover it, and bake it. When it's done you have a perfect (post-op) sized fish fillet that's full of flavor and you didn't even have to make an effort.
There's lots of protein in these fillets: a whopping 14g! Only 80 calories and 3g fat, no carbs.
I paired my fillet with a baked potato topped with butter. (Yes, I use real butter. I need flavor and I can't see spending money on the diet butter spreads. I want to enjoy my food and learn to eat in moderation. Eating diet butter spread makes me think I can eat a lot more of it. Diet foods do that to the mind, and you end up eating more calories that if you just had a small amount of the regular item.) I was able to finish most of the plate. I made sure to finish the fish since that's where the protein is.
