Great effort Ray! Youre just one meal away from reaching your weekly target of protein and fiber-rich dinners. Your choice of grilled chicken legs and chickpea pasta is a fantastic way to incorporate lean proteins and fiber into your meal. The greens bacon corn and pepper salad add a nice variety of flavors and nutrients. I hope you enjoyed your meal as much as you enjoyed your mojito cocktail. Remember its not just about hitting targets but also about enjoying the process and the meals you prepare. Keep finding joy in your healthy nutrition routine and have a great weekend!!
