OUR EATING AT HOME GO TO'S
Some great things to keep on hand at all times is protein in bulk or microwavable protein like precooked fajita meat or Tyson chicken strips and frozen veggies. That way when things get busy, you have a quick and easy healthy meal!
Salads
Salads are filling, nutritious and super quick and easy! Start with a solid protein source like grilled chicken. Then you can add lots of salad fixings like cucumbers, tomatoes, broccoli sprouts, mushrooms, carrots, etc. Try to avoid things like croutons, French onion strips and things like that. If you like avocado, nuts and seeds, plan for them because the calories can add up. Go with a low calorie dressing like balsamic vinegar, light ranch, skinny girl or any other low calorie dressing.
Stir Fries
Heat some veggies and protein up in a skilled using some Bragg's liquid aminos (soy sauce substitute). Cauliflower rice is a great alternative to regular rice here!
Wraps
Make a wrap of your choice with sandwich meat or some of your bulk made protein with lettuce, veggies and a low calorie condiment like mustard or a low calorie dressing. Cut Da Carb is a great low calorie wrap.
Tacos
Crunchy or soft make for a well balanced meal! If you use ground meat, keep the calories down with something like 96/4 ground beef or 97/3 lean ground turkey. Try to find a low calorie or low carb tortilla to help keep the carbs and calories down as well. Add some cheese, salsa and other taco condiments and enjoy!
