What Makes a Recipe Macro-Friendly?
An easy macro friendly recipe is usually a meal that is focused on flavor while being low-calorie and high-protein. I have a few of my easiest macro-friendly recipes outlined below. But first, you might want to know what makes macro-friendly cooking so special…
This is best explained through the difference in cooking from traditional and healthy methods (and it’s BIG). Traditional is all about taste and has zero concern for health. And “healthy” cooking? Sure, it’s good for you, but it’s like eating cardboard and pretending it’s fun. Macro-friendly easy recipes bridge the gap. It’s a new way of cooking where you finally get to combine delicious and healthy without compromise. No more choking down boring meals just to lose weight. You get both flavor and results.
So with that said, here are…
