“I had the marinated chicken and brown basmati rice left overs this afternoon with a side of boiled broccoli and spinach sprinkled with black pepper and herbs sauteed asparagus and a tiny bit of greek yoghurt. It was super filling 3 hours on I am still full! No snacking! I had this with about 300mL of water.”
