I made it out to be four portions of each meal-

1. Chicken, roasted broccoli and green beans, and the scalloped potatoes
2. Pasta (spinach, zucchini, mushrooms, onions, tomato sauce, and cottage cheese) and chicken

I track calories so that’s attached to the ingredient/recipe screenshot. Super simple and delicious meals (i did forget to initially take pics so some are of frozen portions)

Today’s meals largely came from my meal prep-

1. Vanilla overnight oats: oats, milk, vanilla Greek yogurt, and sugar free maple syrup
2. Spinach artichoke pasta: pasta, spinach, artichokes, garlic, mushrooms, and chicken in a cream sauce (cottage cheese, milk, spices)
3. Meatloaf: bbq beef meatloaf, veggie potato bakes (brand is Veggies Made Great), steamed veg

A bit lower in protein and higher in carbs than usual, but tasted delicious and stayed within my target calorie range so I’m feeling good!

Pro tip for any high calorie spread is definitely to mix it in yogurt to get so much more of that flavor without all the calories

Chicken and bean enchiladas (slow cooked shredded chicken thigh with black beans and laughing cow for filling) made with low carb tortillas. Served with oven roasted mushrooms, peppers, onions, and zucchini

The bolognese is made with gardein plant based ‘ground meat’ along with a ton of carrots and spinach in a jarred red sauce. Felt like garlic bread and cottage cheese were a tasty addition today!
