397 cals, 48g protein - Chicken ranch pita

This was so good and came together really quickly. I used one of the whole wheat flax & oat bran pitas from Aldi (75 cals) and carefully split it open to make a pocket. I mixed rotisserie chicken breast with coleslaw mix, light mayo, Greek yogurt, ranch seasoning, and cheese, then stuffed it into the pita and toasted it in a pan.

Had it with cottage cheese and a peach on the side. The whole plate came to 397 calories - 48g protein, 31g carbs, 11g fat. The Aldi pitas are especially good for this because they’re big enough to actually stuff without using a ton of calories.

Yummy day of eats. Breakfast was avocado,
Cottage cheese toast topped with pomegranate seeds, and egg whites with spinach topped with Guacasalsa and Black Truffle Hot Sauce. Lunch featured chicken breast skewers from Aldi - they’ve been on rotation in my house lately and they are really good. The granola in the yogurt cup is the Magic Spoon Peanut Butter Protein granola, and it’s delicious! Dinner was beef tacos
and I closed out the night with a chocolate ninja creami. 😋

B&B Butchers Restaurant Weeks Lunch

Whipped ricotta & pita, steak salad, & carrot cake ($5 extra). Food was really good. I enjoy the ambiance upstairs - feels more laid back than the 1st floor. Service was great the and meal was paced nicely.

Trader Joe’s Meringue Shells

I had really high hopes for these because I love Trader Joe’s regular meringues and always stock up on the peppermint ones around the holidays.
Unfortunately, these were a miss for me.

The biggest issue was the texture. It was almost impossible to get a good bite. The shell was either so thick it felt chalky, or it shattered into a million pieces if you bit into a thinner section. There wasn’t much of that light, crisp melt in your mouth texture I was expecting.

Rotten Gummy Cruncheez - 80 cals

These are elite low cal candies. And there isn’t a ln excessive amount of fiber which is such a bonus. Texture is also great - soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside. I ordered off Amazon.

Viral Chicken Calzone - 521 cals, 68g protein

I made the viral chicken calzone recipe where the calzone “dough” is chicken breast. Probably the best recipe I’ve made this year. It was surprisingly easy to make and definitely going into my regular dinner rotation. It’s one of those meals that feels indulgent but is packed with protein.

Dinner - 545 calories, 58g protein

I could have cut back on the portion because this was a huge amount of food, but after lifting, reaching 15k steps and taking my kids to the pool - I was tired and hangry.

The Trader Joe’s pasta sauce is the lowest calorie sauce - 60 cals/.5 cup. Most others are 100/.5 cup. This took 12 minutes from start to finish.
