turkey burger, pulled pork, chicken
thighs, ground buffalo), roasted veggies and sometimes a sweet potato or butternut squash Snack: apple
with almond butter or a handful of macadamia nuts Dinner: A large salad
with all kinds of raw veggies (cucumber, celery, carrots, cauliflower), avocado or olives, usually a lighter protein like grilled chicken breast, salmon or shrimp This would represent a full menu... I would say I hit this about 4 - 5 days a week, other days I may omit the snack or keep the snack and omit a meal, if i do that though I would add a bit of protein
