Main Course

Remember: meat is a condiment, not the main course. Look at the protein content of each recipe- in most of these recipes you should cut the amount of meat per serving in half, and heap on the veggie sides with lots of olive or avocado oil to get calories from healthy fat. Or eat some fresh avocado on the side, or top with nuts. 1 Tablespoon of olive oil gives you an extra 119 calories.
