Hey guys! Fairly new to MFP, looking for some new friends to share meal ideas with. I'm 32, with a 10 month old baby. I used to be fairly fit and healthy, but gained quite a bit of weight with pregnancy, and it's hard coming off!! Add me and I will post delicious recipes like "grilled chicken with curried couscous, spinach, and mango" to your news feed

Pesto Meatballs with a fresh corn polenta. Not super healthy, but it worked for my day today. It was around 800 calories, but I'm still under on the day, even after my protein shake.

Sounds delicious! I don't know if I could fit 800 cal into my day, but maybe a smaller portion and I'd be good to go! Thanks for the recipe, I'm adding it to my groceries for this week

It was quite tasty. I'd have probably balanced it out with some sort of salad and cut back on the polenta, but I had never made meatballs in my life, so this was a standout first effort for me! We had had another Blue Apron meal for lunch (za'ata-spiced eggplant and squash pitas with tabbouleh) which checked in at 500 calories, so it worked well on the day.
