Healthy Fish & Chips For Busy Dads

I finally headed back to the gym today.

Unfortunately it wasn't until 12pm this afternoon because my local rec centre has cut back its hours and don't open til 12 noon.

It's certainly a little shift in schedule for me but I had a pretty good workout anyway. It was a fairly easy workout as I have been easing myself back since my Christmas break.

I will start my new routine on Friday and start to turn up the intensity as the weeks go on. I am actually a bit sore from my Dad Fitness home workout of chinups and perfect pushups!

For dinner last night I decided to come up with a healthy Dad Fitness version of a classic favorite that is usually one of the worst offenders in terms of unhealthy fat.

Fish & Chips.

Here is the recipe that I used from the shake & bake box. Pretty simple actually. It turned out pretty good and shows you that you can take any unhealthy food and turn it into a more healthy version when you cook it yourself.
