Hi!! I want to share some lower calorie meals with you guys that have helped me lose weight.
Meal #1: Lean ground beef with sweet potato and homemade pico.
Ingredients: Trader Joe's Extra Lean Ground Beef, 2 Sweet Potatoes, 2 Tomatoes, 1/4 of an onion, 1 Jalapeño, Lime Juice, Cilantro, Salt, Seasonings.
Cook your ground beef up and divide into 4 portions. Cook your sweet potato (I like to cook mine in the oven at 400F for 15-25 minutes or until tender enough to poke a fork through. I add zero calorie cooking spray and chili-lime seasoning to them.)
Make your pico – cut everything up and add about a tablespoon of lime juice and some salt – store in a container for the rest of the week.
I also love adding some avocado to this.

Shrimp Noodle Bowl –
1 serving of miracle noodle (I like the angel hair one), 1 serving of Aldi Fremont Cooked Shrimp, some chili paste, cilantro and lime.
Cook your shrimp and add the chili paste, some lime and any seasonings you want. Then rinse the noodles off and add them. Put some cut cilantro on at the end.

Preheat oven to 350. Grease your baking sheet with 0 calorie spray. Place your tortilla on it, and add 1/2 cup of sauce (1/4 cup if you want it less saucy,) put some seasonings on the sauce, then add your pepperoni, torn up cheese and sun dried tomatoes (I like about 3 TBSP of them). Cook for 15-25 minutes (depends on how crispy you want it, just check the underside of it)
