When my lovely friend Gabe told me this was on the menu, I thought it was the oddest combination of ingredients I had ever heard of. But, seasoned just right, and ready in 5 minutes, it is now one of my favorites. Feel free to substitute another protein if you aren’t an ahi tuna lover. You may notice this dish has a higher fat and lower carb content than most of our VLCD meals, although it still comes in around the 300 calorie mark. It’s a great opportunity to practice awareness of satiety signals after eating a higher fat meal.
