Cod and chips for 500 cals

This same meal at the fish and chip shop would cost around 800 calories. We were going to pick some up, but decided that as today was a 'good' day, we would make our own. We used 500g of Estima potatoes, and cut them into chips. These were then microwaved for one minute, just to start the cooking process. Then we coated them in a couple of teaspoons of oil and put them in the oven for around 40 mins on about 200 degrees C. The cod was about 150g each. We took the skin off and coated it with a light dusting of flour, then dipped in egg, coated them in fresh breadcrumbs and sprayed lightly with oil. The fish took about 10 minutes to cook in the oven.
A tasty alternative to the takeaway - deciding to make the effort and saving 300 calories was, for us, worth it. The fish was so light and delicate, and we think it's much lighter than fish from the chip shop.  It also tastes so much better than the frozen ready meal equivalent too.
