Can I use Tilapia with this recipe?
Hi, Debra51. Absolutely! Tilapia would be great here.
Hi I have just joined today and am looking at every receipt and i have just relised how the menu works, so now I can’t wait to start it for me and my husband, I hope I see a difference in a few weeks,
I have questions about this whole program. I have just joined and don’t quite understand. I did the 14 day menu and don’t understand it. When it says pork for dinner do you get a pork recipe from the recipe section? And how do you know how much to eat? I think I am missing something
Hi, Sherry, and welcome! It looks like you actually do understand it very well :). You can also prepare the pork as you wish, hopefully keeping in mind the techniques encouraged in this program. As for how much to eat, the menu and/or recipe will direct you. For example, if the menu states “3 ounces Pork,” you would have the same amount of a simple recipe such as this – http://www.trimdownclub.com/recipe/boneless-pork-loin-roast-with-herbed-pepper-rub/, or about 1/5 of this recipe – http://www.trimdownclub.com/recipe/skinny-slow-cooker-thai-basil-curry/.
What can put with with the fish to make the meal, worried it may become a little dry with fish and veg?
Hi, Jshadbolt. I’m not sure I understand your question. This recipe doesn’t produce a dry result, as there is moisture from the egg and lime juice, sealed in with the oil. If you are referring to an entire meal, this fish goes well with mashed potatoes (http://www.trimdownclub.com/recipe/classic-mashed-potatoes/).
Hi everyone! Today is my first day of membership so I decided to make this dish. My wife normally cooks but she is straight off the boat from Sicily and she loves to make everything with pasta!
Well, tonight was my turn and I wanted to make something with fish. The greatest test is seeing if my children would eat it.
fortunately my children loved it! Thank you for the recipe and I am looking forward to the next meal.
Any one suggest something other than whole wheat breading? Trying to stay Gluten-Free…..
Hi, Ted. You can make bread crumbs out of whole grain gluten-free bread or just use whole brown rice flour mixed with almond meal.
Hi. I always use cr used cornflakes for a coating and it works really well, but I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to this programme. It gives a super crispy coating and you will avoid the gluten.
Hi, 98sentry. It can fit in your menu anywhere you have 3 oz of a protein such as fish, poultry, beef, or even tempeh – you can also have a slightly smaller portion if you only have 2 oz. at a meal. If you are a diabetic and the 1/2 carb per portion will make a difference for you, just choose the vegetable at that meal from the “free” list.
Where is free list
Hi, Meagan. The “free” list is in the Menu Planner application (in “Apps” above). When you are in the app and see the food group categories, click on the right-most one.
will try it. but how does it fit in with my meal planner
Sounds good! Trying this for dinner and maybe have leftovers for tomorrow!

Any suggestions on what else to have with this fish? Need some inspiration and would prefer not to use mash/potato wedges.
I have to try this with our crappie!!!! We catch on our pontoon boat!!!
This recipe is just delicious!
Hi, cjbc505. Yes, it can – just try 1-2 minutes (depending on the strength of your microwave.
can this recipe be cooked in a microwave? if so what are your recommendations. James
Hi, jazzyis18. Those types of products tend to be more processed than we recommend, though Gardein is at least hexane-free. A better option may be tofu slices marinated in the seasonings before breading and cooking.
I TASTED TORFU FOR THE FIRST TIME, IT WAS CUBED AND ROLLED IN SOME DARK SPICES AND SERVED WITH SLICED MUSHROOMS. iT TASTED GOOD. IT. WAS AN ENTREE. iS THERE A SUITABLE TYPE OF TORFU?
Hi, OldNVeryGrey. Organic and sprouted (but at least organic), and “firm.”
Can the frozen meatless Gardein fish fillets be used in lieu of fresh fish?
Hi, OldNVeryGrey. Organic and sprouted (but at least organic), and “firm.”
Hi, Jassyis18. Yes, that’s fine.
Great fish, tasty!
