How to make a vegetable stir fry
Our quick veggie stir fry is so versatile you can add any protein source you have on hand and make it a meal. Leave it as is for a fantastic vegetarian meal or as a side dish for baked chicken breasts or air-fried chicken breast. for the blue and purple plans, chicken breast is Zero points. On the green plan add 2 points for 3 ounces. Not that bad for a filling healthy meal. Baked turkey is another excellent main dish to pair with this dish. 3 ounces of turkey breast without the skin is only 1 Point. Buy a turkey breast from your local grocer and smoke it before adding it to a dish and you have added flavor, texture, and protein.
What are some vegan alternatives for protein?
Tofu is the main protein alternative available to vegans and vegetarians. You don't have to be vegan to enjoy some of the protein alternatives. Beans are another great source of protein and like tofu, they are pretty versatile. Most nuts are loaded with protein and healthy fats. A much-needed addition to our diets. Keep in mind that adding protein may mean adding points. Make sure you add the points to the total of the meal so you are accurately tracking.
Should I eat my weeklies?
I have noticed that I do well when I eat a few of my weeklies. Adding healthy fats like avocado and nuts have helped me to stay on track and continue to lose weight. I have even jump-started my metabolism when I hit a plateau. I have to be careful with carbs so I actually count the beans (not green beans) when I add them.
I know on the purple and blue they are zero points but for me, I have to be very careful. I have found that journaling helps me to keep track of the number of carbs and protein I am eating every day. It also helps me stay on track, I can see what my day looks like, and being able to see it written down has helped me tremendously.
If you want to lower the points of this meal use any vegetable zoodle you prefer in place of the rice noodles. The rice noodles are 5 points per cup. The meal is 4 points per serving when you make 4 servings.
