My 5-Minute Lean and Green Dinner
Posted April 20, 2009
on:I’ve noticed a lot of people asking various questions about Lean and Green meals and recipes, so I figured I’d share some of my dinners in an ongoing series on this blog. It’s easy to get stuck eating the same thing everyday – heck I ate chicken breast and a salad of romaine lettuce and spinach for my entire first week on Medifast. Once I realized what I was allowed to eat, I learned a lot more about portions, calorie amounts, and fat content in some foods that are meatless options, as well as how to get my healthy fat servings in.
I am still rotating the same 4-5 meals for my Lean and Green, mostly because my schedule is super busy, and I haven’t had the time to play around with any LG recipes yet. However, any variety at all is good! I very much look forward to my Lean and Green meals now, and am generally only spending 5-10 minutes preparing them. Like I said.. I’m busy! (and I don’t even have any kids yet! lol)
Without Further ado, I present to you tonight’s Lean and Green Dinner!
The picture above includes 2 Boca Burger Patties, (of Grilled American variety), a 1/2 of Lowfat Cottage Cheese, and my Caesar salad of romaine lettuce and President brand Fat Free Feta Cheese.
I could have just eaten 3 Boca Burger Patties, but I wanted to add a bit more variety to tonight’s dinner. So I cut it down to two patties, added the missing protein element with the Lowfat Cottage Cheese. To add some flavor to the Cottage Cheese, I’ll add a dash of salt, and whatever spice sounds good. Sometimes I play around with it… I’ve tried a few that weren’t so good. lol
There you have it! Tonight’s Lean and Green!
What is your favorite Lean and Green dinner and why?
