I measured all of the ingredients as I made these meals so I could be as accurate in my estimates as possible, and didn't calculate for seasonings since those would have a fairly minimal impact. However, I just wanted to say I'm proud of myself for my hard work in learning to manage this after a life of just giving into depression. I'm managing a steady lb per week weight loss now with this and some moderate cardio as I recover from an injury.

Let's all keep working hard to be our best and healthiest selves and being proud of ourselves for every little step we make towards ours goal, no matter how small!
