Low and Nutritious

OH goodness. I've realized I gained 2kgs in the past 2 weeks so it's mandatory that I need to get my body in order. However with that said, I do eat 3 meals a day and exercise daily so nothing to the extreme. I'm just "tidying up" on my meals shall I say? I think I'd go crazy if I had to eliminate meals.





Today's meal: mushroom salad with flax seed oil, Asian-style shirataki noodle stirfry, 1/2 glass OJ, sashimi and avocado salad (appx 480 kcal)


Asian-style Shirataki Noodle Stirfry
I stirfried shirataki with leftover vegetables on hand and added grated ginger, soysauce, sake, garlic powder, Vietnamese hot sauce, and a little bit of chicken broth. Topped it with sesame to give it a nice aroma. It's so flavorful and healthy at the same time. And do note it's 7kcal for 1 shirtaki pack. Score.

Sashimi Avocado Salad
The wonderful thing about supermarket in Japan is that you can get sashimi on sale if you go right before it closes. A pack of tuna and octopus sashimi for $2.80! Double score.


I mixed this with dice-cut avocados and marinated onions and voila:

It's full of anti-oxidants and good rich sources of good oil.

Btw, I always keep marinated onions (mix sliced onions, flax seed oil, parsely, salt, vinegar, olive oil, pepper) on stock in my fridge because it's so extremely useful. It's great to add on top of grilled meat or fish and it also serves as a dressing for salads. 


Ever since I started to pre-prepare my food on the weekends, all this takes maybe about 10-15 minutes to make. It saves time and money and needless to say a lot of mess in my tiny kitchen so it's working out wonderfully :)
