“Today I had a power bowl from my favorite restaurant usually I order something with much higher calories and sugars. This has baby butter lettuce roasted chicken cage-free eggs sliced avocado edamame roasted cauliflower tri-color peppers pumpkin seeds and fontina cheese with chipotle ranch. Then I had a vitamin water and chocolate covered strawberry. It says on their online nutrition that the meal is 550 calories with 4 g sugar (not sure if that is added) and 37 g protein. I wanted to ask you is this a good option or bad for a protein rich lunch?”

“Your power bowl sounds like a great choice packed with lean protein and fiber-rich foods. Lets remember its always a good idea to check if the sugar content includes added sugars.”
