When was turkey ever bad for anything? And when was chili a "bad" food, not that I believe in bad foods.0

Keep in mind that you're supposed to eat back exercise calories... so 1200 calories is probably too low for you.0

Bad carbs? What are bad carbs? This is still demonizing food just like the statement about chili being bad.0 -
I had beef chili for dinner tonight! It covered the tater tots really nicely.0

Enter your recipe and log it. Then you will know if it fits your calories. Your co- workers do not know.
I ate chili made with beef this week and it wasn't that high calorie so I imagine a serving of your turkey chili will be fine.

Chilli is great! It is an awesome opportunity to throw in some bell peppers, jalapenos, or other veggies for a great mix. It starts to have issues when loaded with sour cream, mass amounts of cheese or mass amounts of crackers.0

I literally eat homemade turkey chili for lunch every day. Super healthy!

I always make turkey black bean chilli and throw in a bunch of veggies. I enjoy it and it is good for you.0

No chili is bad for dieting if it fits within your caloric allowance.0

Eliminating that would help.

Here you go bragging in another thread about that delicious chili and tater tot casserole! :laugh:0 -
I make turkey chili at least once a week! Lean ground turkey meat, chili seasoning, kidney beans, diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Super simple and it's 400 calories or less for a bowl. Just had it last night!0

Chili is fabulous for weight loss. Plenty of protein and fiber. Meat, beans, veggies. All good foods. And very filling.0

Turkey chili is actually pretty good for you with all the kidney beans for protein/fiber, and lean ground turkey for protein.0
