Rough day called for comfort food and only completely artificial, neon-orange, Kraft-style mac ‘n’ cheese would do. We’ll pretend that the green beans make this balanced. 🙃 (254 calories, 15g protein)

The green beans DO make it balanced! Don’t be so hard on yourself. This is a great meal.

Focus on what you can add vs what you should take away. Great meal.

1/4 carb, 1/4 protein, 1/2 veggies and all within your budget… looks perfect to me!

Get what you want (macaroni and cheese), and add what you need (veggies)! This looks like such a killer comfort meal. I am a firm believer that turkey sausage is the superior sausage.

It literally is a balanced meal. Not sure why you phrased it like that. Even dietitians and nutritionists who help you lose weight will always say add food to your plate don’t subtract, which is exactly what you did! The mac and cheese doesn’t suddenly cancel out all the nutrients in your green beans and meat. Eating a candy bar at the end of my day doesn’t mean the veggies and meat I ate throughout the day suddenly lost nutritional benefits! You are doing absolutely amazing with this meal!

Kraft Mac & Chee is my go-to comfort food too! Never apologize for those times you need a food hug!

It’s processed food but this is balanced! Protein, carbs, fat, fiber.

Unless that’s photoshop green beans, there’s no pretending. It is balanced.

When I was a kid, we were taught about the 4 food groups, and that a balanced diet had to include foods from each. I understand there are more groups today, I guess ? But you’ve got all 4 of those basic food groups on that plate! And a higher volume of veggies than the carb or protein, which is the nutrition information that I’ve heard pushed more recently. Any way you look at it, that’s a balanced meal.
I personally prefer broccoli over green beans as a mac n cheese pairing, but that’s just personal preference. Otherwise, I think that’s a fabulous meal.
