Low Carb Tuna Patties

To start off let me just say that I usually don't like tuna. But these were awesome! I ate them with a honey mustard salad. Good and low carb! I'm trying to eat low carb after 2pm everyday. I'm giving it a weeks try. I started on Monday. I feel lighter already but I won't weigh in until next week.

I made up the recipe from a pile of tuna pattie recipes I found.

Parmesan Tuna Patties

1 can light tuna (in water not oil)
1 Tbsp. nonfat plain yogurt (only 8 calories!)
1 large egg
2Tbsp. shredded parmesan
2 Tbsp. bread crumbs
1 chopped up green onion or chive
a squirt of mustard
garlic powder
onion powder
salt
pepper

Make 4 patties and pan fry in 1 Tbsp. olive oil over med-high heat until browned to your liking.

One Patty- 120 cal, maybe 2 carbs. Not sure now that I think about it. Maybe choosing the low cal yogurt over mayo was a bad pick. But the yogurt had 17 carbs in a cup and I only used 1/16th of that. Anyway, it's healthy!
