FOOD

I'd mentioned that I got into this whole meal prepping business, and I wanted to take a moment to share the recipes I've tried and really enjoyed. We usually tweak the recipes to my picky tastes, though, I'll give a link to the original because I'm awesome like that. <insert big goofy grin here>

Everything I've sought out had to do three things. It had to taste good above everything else. I'm not a veggies and cardboard kind of chick. Likely, if you see me munching a carrot and smiling, it's because I'm pretending it's cheesecake. Second, it has to give me the carbs I need to fuel my workouts, the protein I need to keep my muscles strong, and the vitamins I need to stay healthy. I'm not a nutritionist, so I'm going by what MyFitnessPal tells me to do. And third, it had to fill me up for under 500 calories because that's all I'm willing to spare at lunch.

I hope you enjoy the recipes as much as I have.
