This is a fun one! I saw a post on a competitor board asking if it was ok to have black eye peas
and greens in prep. I thought it was interesting because you can really get some nice flavors in
this combination.
Let’s see how we can make that work.
The Standard Bro plan
We are looking at our ACTUAL menu from our coach.
Meal 3 is
5 oz Chicken (Chix) or Turkey
1/2 cup rice or 3 rice cakes or 5 oz potato
Veggies.
Reboot on this meal:
Black eye peas 1/2 cup
Collard Greens 1/2 cup
Chicken breast 5 oz
Let’s see how we did
The fiber is higher on meal 2.
Note: The Bro-plan had “Veggies” in Meal 3 as well. We can assume veggies are “FREE”.
Collard greens, Kale have more carbs than asparagus and spinach. My instinct is to track everything
I eat. We don’t know how much our Coach needed this client to eat on this plan. The collard greens
were a nice choice.
I’m assuming that the Island dish was prepared, prep style with no extra fats, oils. Of course.
If you prep this one Island Style, you can use these flavors
Nutmeg
Cloves
Cinnamon
AllSpice
Ginger
hmmm
Southern style.. I see bacon grease….. not today Satan.. not today!!
Remember: IIFYM/Flex/Macro counting isn’t so you can sit around and eat crap all day. It was originally
used by competitors to offer ‘options’ because of “Bro-Fatigue”.
If you look at your entire day as a whole and have met your nutritional goals, you can have some nice
options.
Keep your food tight! Success!
Awesome recipe! I like iifym and I pracice the clean macros, as you also do! 🙂 Having a treat here and there is okay but we need to nourish our body the right way to reach our goals. I saved this recipe to try when I am back home (tomorrow yay) 🙂
