Let Me Explain

"If a person's bodyweight is at least 20% higher than it should be, he or she is considered obese. If your Body Mass Index (BMI) is between 25 and 29.9 you are considered overweight. If your BMI is 30 or over you are considered obese." - Medical News Today

That is fact. It's not an opinion on the topic, but merely a definition. I don't believe you have to be skinny to be healthy.

This is about my misadventures in finding a FIT and happy place to be.

MEAL PREP - Week Three

Chipotle Chicken Quinoa Burrito Bowl


TO ADD TO QUINOA
1 Whole Lime
0.50 Cup Chopped Cilantro
Pinch of Salt

CHIPOTLE PASTE
1 tbsp(s), Chipotle Pepper In Adobo Sauce
1 tablespoon, Extra Virgin Olive Oil
0.25 tsp, Ground Cumin
1 lb(s), Chicken Breast
0.25 teaspoon, Salt
0.50 tsp(s), Spices, garlic powder

SALAD
2 cups, shredded lettuce of your choice
1 cup, Beans - Pinto, canned
2 cup, Mediterranean Quinoa
0.50 cup, Mexican Four Cheese
4 Tbsp, Sour Cream

The original recipe called for plain Quinoa and salsa (blech tomatoes) and avocado (barf, but I'm trying to get past that. Not really) But we all know how picky Allison is, so my wonderful husband took his Cilantro Lime rice recipe and applied it to my Quinoa. It was a massively good call, and a super easy tweak. 

I also added the sour cream and a little more cheese. Yes, I'm aware that neither of those are considered "healthy" but we also need fat. And look at calories per serving. Next time, I think I'm actually going to add more lettuce. That bit of crunch was nice.

Again, I can't take credit for this. You can find the original recipe from EatingWell.com
