Weight Loss vs Weight Gain with Sambal Honey Chicken and Fried Rice
⁣⁣
You don’t have to eat less volume of food when you want to lose weight, you just need to choose less calorically dense options. This image is a good example of how you can eat the same foods, just in different proportions to meet your goals. Eating a higher ratio of vegetables is an easy way to cut back on calories (obviously right) I know they don’t taste as good and it’s not always the easiest to eat them but sometimes sacrifices have to me made in order to reach our goals. A way to make them more palatable is to pair them with foods that are similar in size and mouth feel. For example, the fried rice in this image has small frozen vegetables included that are close to the size of the clumps of rice. You can play with the ratio of rice to vegetables to adjust the calorie load. The sauce on the meat can also be poured over the green beans to give them more flavor. ⁣
