Macro-Friendly Recipe Round-up
If you are tracking your macros, it is essential to find recipes that fit your macros goals to help you succeed. If you have participated in one of KA Wellness and Nutrition's Health and Weight Loss Challenges in the past, or are actively participating our January Challenge now, you may use the recipes below to refer to as you continue through the challenge. I tried to provide the links for all the recipes I emailed so far for the challenge, as these are also in Cronometer. There are additional recipes linked below that you can find uploaded into the Cronometer food database as well, for easy tracking. This does not include all my recipes, but more posts to come!
If you see a recipe below, it will be labeled the same in Cronometer. In order to log the food item in Cronometer, search for the item and it should come up under the "custom tab."
Fully Loaded Burger Bowl (Recipe separated in Cronometer with just the bowl, Special Sauce and Guac for separate logging if desired)
Cottage Cheese CC Protein Bowl
This recipe is a quick-prep option for a treat that tastes like cookie dough! Use a high-quality protein powder for the best results, my favorites being Earth Fed Muscle Whey Back Vanilla and Levels Vanilla Whey Protein.
Ingredients:
200gm 2% Cottage Cheese
1 Scoop (30gm) protein powder, ideally vanilla
6gm mini chocolate chips
6gm cocoa nibs (I love Anthony's Organic)
Directions:
Stir all ingredients together in a bowl. This can make one large recipe (47gm of protein!) or two medium servings.
For meal prep, add to 1-2 air-tight containers and refrigerate for up to 5 days ahead.
