Your soup looks good, but your fish tarak chun. You should buy those lean fish meat.
The fish looks scary with the eyes popped out.
I've no idea what fish to get for steaming.

shadowjass : Here's some suggestion for steam fish. I would use a bigger bowl for steaming fish, especially if steaming with vegetables.

This is how my Granny steams fish. We used a bigger fish, hence the "fish steak". Red snapper that was steam with garlic and ginger. You can see that we cut the ginger into strips and garlic into slices. Sometimes, she uses small shallots (purple onions) that are sliced for a bit of sweetness. Sometimes also uses tomatoes to give it the sour taste.

Another steam fish. This time with 1/2 teaspoon of tomyam paste mix with water. I couldn't find any lemongrass in my parents kitchen so I just steam it with some garlic. The garlic is to get rid of the fishy smell. If you don't lick garlic, you can also use lemon grass.

This one was admittedly sloppy because too much garnishing. I steam the fish as normal. Then stir-fry until try the strips of small shallots and ginger until brown and crunchy. Then put it over the steam fish. In the Chinese restaurant, the Teochew Method would be to steam the fish in soya sauce, stir-fry chopped garlic until brown and crunchy, and put the garlic on top of the fish.
For whole fish, really , just need a bigger bowl. The thing about steaming fish is that you can also steam it in an oven. Just fold the aluminium foil until it's like a small dish and place this aluminium foil over a plate. Then put the fish in.

Thanks for the suggestions. I need more creativity and ideas on my meals esp those with less preparation time.
The only time where I could prepare a proper dinner would be on non-WO days.
If I workout in the evening, dinner would be quite late, ard 10.30pm or so. So, I'll just prepare sth simple like soup or eggs.
Anytime later than that, I'll take a scoop of casein & almonds before bed.

My first attempt at Bento. I'm still not good at guessing whether I did proper portion control but if this is correct, that meal is about 600 calories.
The container is actually a collapsible sandwich box that looks like what's in this link :
http://lunchinabox.net/2006/08/18/collapsi...ich-case-debut/I bought one for RM4.99 from Parkson Grand in Kuching in their bargain bin.
I also thought this was really really cool. Would be easy to get kids to eat their food although their parents would be scratching their heads. Haha!

Hmm...that may be a better option because you can steam your food in the rice cooker as well.
