    On Sundays I chop/prep:

    500g romaine (2 heads)
    10 oz. baby spinach
    500g cucumber
    500g tomato
    500g carrots
    500g celery
    250g red onion
    300g chicken breast
    6 Hard-Boiled Eggs

    Each morning, I throw 1/5 of all the veggies together into a bowl, add either 100g broiled chicken or 3eggs(1 full, 2 white), and a to-go cup of 1.5oz Ken's Lite Dressing. If it's chicken day, it's 415 calories. Egg day is 385. Once the prep work is done on Sunday, each day takes less than 5 minutes to prep.

    How does 100g of chicken with veg contain 415 cals?

    How many calories do you think 100g of roasted chicken breast would have?

    100g Romaine - 17c
    50g Spinach - 12c
    100g Cucumber - 12c
    100g Tomato - 18c
    100g Carrots - 41c
    100g Celery - 14c
    50g Red Onion - 21c
    100g Chicken - 165c
    Ken's Lite Caesar 1.5oz - 130c

    My bad, that's 430c, not 415. I think the meal I have saved on my diary is using a generic entry for tomatoes that's 15c less than what is liested for the USDA version.
