After a relaxing weekend, today I was ready to get back to work. I began my week with my side dish. I chose to make a coconut shrimp recipe. This was different for me because in general, I do not eat shrimp. However, after much research, I decided that because I do not have any seafood recipes, I should try a mild one: coconut shrimp. This recipe was much easier and tastier than I had expected. For the crunchy outsides, I used Fiber One bran cereal, breadcrumbs, and shredded sweetened coconut. I also used chili powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and egg whites. This recipe has only 164 calories for 5 large shrimp. Usually, 5 coconut shrimp would have about 400 calories! Not only does this recipe have minimal calories, but it also used minimal time to make. I recommend this recipe to all my followers.
In addition to cooking today, I chose to research about food labels placed on foods. These labels give vital information about daily food consumption. It indicates how many calories, fat, protein, sugar, fiber, and various nutrients and vitamins are in a specific food. Since I have become more health-conscious, I am more aware of the labels of the foods I eat. It lets me know exactly how healthy a product is, and how much of it I should eat. One of the most common misconceptions that leads to overeating is not being aware of serving size.
RANDOM FACT: The first soup ever made was from hippopotamus and dates back to 6000 B.C.!
