Bowl

I got this one from Calwillcookit on Instagram. He does really good recipes but this one is maybe the best tasting and the best on macros of everything I’ve made so far. The key here is shrimp, which is in the highest tier of foods for the protein-to-calorie ratio. I just changed the amounts of food to feed a family of 4. I also tweaked the recipe a bit to make it easier.

I felt like mixing things up and adding a bit of spice and Korean flavor to my chicken bowls. This one isn’t really the best for kids because of the spice but if you like spicy food, it’s a good recipe with solid macros. As with the case with my recipes, it’s an easy one to make to.

Oyakodon is one of my favorite Japanese dishes. I didn’t realize it’s also pretty healthy and packed with protein. It’s really simple to make, takes just a few ingredients, and the whole family will enjoy it. There’s many ways to make it and you can get as complicated or “authentic” as you want but this way worked for me.

I got this recipe from CJ Eats and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with his version. In fact it’s way more authentic. I’ve made it before and it’s super good. I made a few modifications to my version to add a bit more volume for the calories, lower the fat content and increase protein and fiber. It’s a great dish that your whole family will enjoy and awesome to come home to after a long day. This one requires some more ingredients than the typical dish I make but you really don’t have to follow the way that I did (I’ll explain below in the recipe steps).

Grab your wok and let’s get started.

One of my son’s favorite restaurants to eat at is Bennihanna. For obvious reasons, we only go there on special occassions. I’m sure the show that the chef puts on is entertaining for him, but he’s really more into the food there and I can’t say I blame him. It’s hard to mess up steak, butter, and fried rice and it’s pretty consistent. I have here a healthier alternative to this recipe. It’s not exactly Bennihanna, or anything like it at all actually but it’s still a good meal. Feel free to change it up and add butter and whatever else you want to make it closer to the original or your own style, but my version here is based on a goal to meet specific macros.

For my seasoning, I went to my favorite Kinder’s The Blend, but you can just use salt, pepper, and garlic powder too.
