    Breakfast: I usually have 1/2 cup of Greek Yogurt mixed with 2 tbsp of cinnamon with 1/3 cup of oatmeal (either mixed or not mixed w/ the yogurt) and then 1 whole egg and 2 egg whites.

    Lunch: I've been craving brown rice lately, so I've been mixing 2/3 cup of brown rice, 1/3 cup of beans (I do black beans but preferences can vary), 1/2 cup of beets, and I might sometimes add in a cup of cooked green beans. To add some extra flavor I'll make a healthy dressing: 1 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1/2 tbsp honey, and 1/2 tbsp cinnamon. Delicious when mixed all together!

    Dinner: For dinner I'll usually cut 1 or 2 russet potatoes, cut and wrap them in tin foil, and bake them at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes. If you're having trouble getting fat into your diet, then something yummy I discovered was mashing the potatoes with a fork (or any utensil that can mash a potato) and mixing in 2 tsp of almond butter (It's really good!). Then I'll have 4 oz chicken breast, and on the side I'll have some sort of vegetable (usually either broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, carrots, or Brussels sprouts).

    *These are all single serve recipies

    My version of chipotle bowl!
    121 g of quinoa, 4oz of chicken breast, 80 g of pico de gallo, 1/2 cup of black beans, 1/2 avacado, spring mix.... fills you up without guilt!!

    I've been experimenting with making my own version of this, too! I used the zataran's cilantro lime rice but was thinking I could do brown rice and make it myself to be healthier, but the quinoa is a great idea!!

    Post your favorite 'go-to meal', fave meal, easy meal etc

    Show me what you've been making ;)

    Right now I've been trying to do a salad a day for dinner... and this week I have sweet potatoes for lunch. Came down with a cold so I've been doing chicken noodle soup for dinner though. I've also been trying to convert unhealthy go to favorites into healthier homemade versions, like the box pasta salads. chipotle burrito bowls, etc.
