7. Make Simple 5 Ingredient Meals
Choose a simple protein like chicken breast, lean turkey or ground beef, etc. If you cook it in oil, that counts as a fat for this meal. Use simple seasonings like salt, pepper, and spices, or serve with hot sauce or mustard for flavor.
Veggies usually include fiber, which helps you feel full longer and helps your digestion. Plus micronutrients and vitamins for energy and well-being. If you cook veggies in oil, that counts towards your fats.
Fruits also contain fiber, vitamins, and minerals. And fruit is low-calorie, unlike many processed alternatives.
Don't fear the carb! But a 5 ingredient meal means simple carbs like rice, potatoes, oats, etc. Is there one word on the ingredient label, or no label at all? (Such as potatoes.) You're good to go.
If your protein is a fattier cut of meat, you won't need to add extra here. If you're eating lean chicken breast cooked without oil, you could add some avocado, for example.
