Maannnnn I gotta be honest with you. The first week of dieting (last week, the week of January 11th) was basically hell.

I forgot how boring it can be to eat the same meals at the same times EVERY DAY.

I especially forgot how much it sucks to have to eat salmon and asparagus at 9:00 or 10:00 at night.

Competition prep breakfast

Breakfast I don’t mind. Late night meal #6, I do mind. (This is pineapple, eggs/egg whites, and gluten free toast.)

I was recovering from a cold and felt like shit all week, and having no appetite certainly did not help me eat six meals a day. It also made it very difficult to put in my full effort at the gym. In some cases, I didn’t. Sometimes you just have to listen to your body, ya know?

At least I have this cutie to snuggle when I'm cranky.

At least I have this cutie to snuggle when I’m cranky.

But anyway, I hit the reset button for this second week of prep and made some minor changes to a couple of my least favorite meals so that they are tolerable. Delicious, even!

Meal Prep

Turkey chili, rice, and shrimp with broccoli. Much better!

Today I’m sharing my recipe for healthy turkey chili that is way tastier than plain ground turkey, rice, and broccoli, but has the same macros (protein, carbs, and fat)! You can play around with how much turkey you add and how many cans of beans you add to get the carbs and protein ratios just right for your dietary needs.

Healthy Turkey Chili | 33P/29C/10F

As shown below, this recipe makes a very meal-prep friendly 7 servings. Each serving has 33g protein/29g carbs/10g fat.
