315 calorie meal, the breakdown: Pulled Pork Zucchini Roll-ups Pulled pork (234 cal) BBQ sauce (21 cal) Zucchini (5 cal) Fresh mozzarella (35 cal) Crispy onions (20 cal) Basil (0 cal) Note— double portion shown. The 315 calories is for 4 of the rolls. #Leftovers can be just as good as the original, especially when it’s #bbq. We love our new local bbq place @hazybarbecue and used their #yummy pulled pork to make these zucchini roll-ups. I quickly seared the thin strips of zucchini, rolled with the pulled pork, and then put them in an oven safe dish with #bbqsauce. I topped them with fresh mozzarella, broiled for 3 minutes, and out of the oven sprinkled with #basil and #crispyonions. Because why not!? I encourage you to use what you have in the fridge and trust your gut (literally) to come up with a dish that sounds (and is!) good to you! #countingcalories #caloriecounting #rollups #zucchinirecipes #leftoversforlunch #leftoverrecipes #makeaheadmeals #healthy #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #healthyrecipes #yummy #protein #proteinmeal #dinner #dinnerideas #pulledpork #recipes #recipe #healthyeating #healthyeatinghabits

366 calorie, 26 g protein meal, the breakdown: Thinly sliced beef (200 cal) Flat noodles (109 cal) Spinach (4 cal) Stir fry sauce (38 cal) Garlic (13 cal) Sesame seeds (3 cal) You’ve seen me post variations of this meal before, it’s a #quicklunch I frequently do. It uses one pan— start with cooking the noodles, set aside then on high cook the garlic and beef (I use @traderjoes thinly sliced beef). Season with salt and pepper. Turn the heat off and add the spinach and noodles and toss together. After putting it on your plate, drizzle with any sauce (I used Trader Joe’s stir fry sauce today). Most sauces really add up in #calories. If you add the sauce in the pan you will need much more to fully coat everything, instead drizzling at the end you can use less sauce without sacrificing on flavor. #countingcalories #caloriecounting #spinach #traderjoes #stirfry #healthyfood #nutrition #lunch #healthy #yummy #protein #beef #ashanoodles #recipes #healthyrecipes #spinach #healthylifestyle

169 calorie meal, the breakdown: Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal (154 cal) Strawberries (15 cal) Confession— I don’t like the texture of oatmeal. I love it baked into a cookie, granola, or protein bar— but no thank you to a bowl of mushy breakfast oatmeal. Enter... overnight baked oatmeal! Overnight Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal 1/2 cup egg whites 1 cup protein milk (or similar) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoons sugar/maple syrup/honey 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup nonfat plain greek yogurt 1 cup oatmeal Mix above ingredients in a bowl and let soak overnight in the fridge. In the morning add 1 teaspoon baking powder Pour evenly into 9x12 pan. Bake 350 30-45 minutes (toothpick test). Optional: after baking make glaze with 1/2 cup powdered sugar, vanilla, water. This recipe makes 12 generous slices that are 77 cal each, 4.2 G protein each (with glaze). I reheat it on the stove and it’s delicious as #leftovers. We loved it with just cinnamon but you can step it up and add chocolate chips, berries, or apples! #countingcalories #caloriecounting #healthyfood #bakedoatmeal #overnightoats #breakfast #protein #proteinpacked #recipes #recipe #nutrition #oatmeal #healthybreakfast #calories #healthy #yummy #healthyrecipes #whatsforbreakfast #trackingcalories #calories #goodfood
