Whole30-Day 3 and Spiced Tilapia

I have now completed Day 3 of Whole30. I’m stilling feeling a bit hungry after dinner/before bedtime, but other than that my hunger issues have been much better. I finished It Starts With Food. The book was really informative about how certain foods can affect your body and how common diseases can be improved or prevented by being aware of how these foods affect you specifically.

My meals for Day 3 were:
Breakfast: Homemade Breakfast Sausage and sautéed zucchini
Snack: Cucumber and grape tomatoes
Lunch: Leftover Sliders with Sautéed mushrooms and a side salad (dressed with apple cider vinegar and olive oil)
Snack: Olives and cucumbers
Dinner: Tilapia (recipe below) with sauteed yellow squash and tomatoes
Snack: Olives and grape tomatoes

I used the following ingredients for Whole30 Approved Tilapia:

1 lb Tilapia
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp mustard powder
2 tsp onion powder
1/4-1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne

Mix all the spices together and liberally sprinkle the seasoning on both sides of the Tilapia. Over medium-high heat (with 1 Tbsp olive oil) sear the Tilapia for 3-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through.

Served with sautéed yellow squash and tomatoes(seeded)–(seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder)

Net Carb Count*:

Whole30 Tilapia: 11 net carbs (for the entire Tilapia recipe)

*Note carb counts are estimated based on the products I used. Check nutrition labels for accurate carb counts.

Comments: I really liked how the spice mixture created a crispy crust on the Tilapia, almost like it was breaded. When making the yellow squash and tomatoes I removed the seeds from the tomatoes.

Enjoy!
