Coconut Almond Cashew Encrusted Scrod

20+ years ago my sister Trish competed in bodybuilding competitions. She won Miss Massachusetts 2x. She was completely ripped and muscular. Her Coach at the time put her on a strict diet. All I can remember is my sister eating plain white fish every night with broccoli and a lot of egg whites. It was a ton of hard work and dedication. Any white fish is extremely low in calories with an abundance of protein and vitamins. A 4 ounce serving of Scrod only has 125 calories, 24 grams of protein, 1 gram of fat, 47 grams of cholesterol (16% of the daily value). Scrod has a plenty of vitamin B which is great for your metabolism and nervous system. Vitamin B helps keep your hair and skin healthy. Scrod is a good source of omega-3 Fatty acids. Serve your Scrod with a side of broccoli or your favorite vegetable of choice and you have a perfectly balanced, super clean meal! One cup of steamed broccoli only has 31 calories and a lot of vitamins and minerals. This meal has less than 275 calories. WOW! This is the perfect meal to eat for supper if you are looking to lose weight. It is so low in calories but packed with nutrition. You will get more "bang for your buck" so to speak eating this as your last meal.

This is the Scrod before I put it in the oven. I could not wait to eat it!
