What you see in the picture is 👇🏼•

Breakfast: Greek yogurt with 1/2 c frozen blueberries•
•
Snack #1: Protein Drink•
•
Lunch: 1/2 Tuna salad (about 1 can), 1/3 cup carrots and 1/2 an apple.•
•
Snack #2: Protein Drink•
•
Dinner: Bone-in chicken thigh with 1/3 cup broccoli and 1/4 cup sweet potato.•
