Budget macro meals free#

The macros for 85g or 3 ounces of green beans are 0F/6C/2P and 25 calories, and cost $4.99 for a bag. We then sprinkle them with a little garlic salt for flavor. We usually break one 2 pound bag up into three different meals for our family, and our favorite ways to eat them are simply boiled or roasted in the oven. They are also very easy to prepare and can even be steamed in the bag if you wish (store leftovers in the fridge and then you don’t have to worry about this step the rest of the meals!).

Green Wave Green Beans. I’ve shared about this on my Instagram account before, but we buy these green beans all the time.

Kirkland Chicken Tortilla Soup. This pre-made soup is so simple to heat up and use.

It can also be frozen if you have way too much left! If you have any extra, rotisserie chicken is always great to have on hand for an easy protein option, or you can add even more chicken breast to your meal to really amp up the protein grams. Speaking of families, if you want to make these meals for a larger group of people, you might want to buy another chicken, maybe even two! You want to make sure you have plenty of protein to go around. Feel free to serve your husband and your kids the darker meat if they enjoy it.

For 3 ounces of skinless chicken breast meat, it is 2.5F/1C/22P and 120 calories.

That is because it has the best macros out of the chicken. For these meals, we will be using skinless chicken breast. Rotisserie Chicken. It is hard to argue with a Costco rotisserie chicken! They are so delicious, and a steal at just $4.99 per chicken.
