“Again accountability has me checking labels and adjusting portions - yay! Lunch this week is chicken mole over rice. My serving is about 1/4 rice (dry measurement) 4oz chicken 1/2c garbanzo beans 1/2c diced tomato 2/3c carrots. Feels good to adjust the recipe this week (more garbanzo beans less rice). A satisfying lunch I will enjoy the rest of the week. Except Thursday I have a lunch with my work team at a restaurant.”
