🥗 How to Build Your Own Low Calorie Meal
The Formula: Lean Protein (100-150 cal) + Vegetables (50-100 cal) + Healthy Fat (50-100 cal) + Complex Carb (50-100 cal) = 250-450 calories
Example: 4oz grilled chicken (140 cal) + 2 cups broccoli (60 cal) + 1 tbsp olive oil (120 cal) + 1/2 cup quinoa (110 cal) = 430 calories
