I’ve been working with Profile since April and I’ve had a lot of success with them, I lost 20lbs in the first month. I’m currently on their Reboot program which means a lot of my meals come from meal replacement shakes or bars. I’m fine with this because the shakes really do keep you full and they have all the vitamins you need to remain healthy. Dinner is really the only time I eat a full meal and even though I went into it saying I would have more fun with it, I’m a creature of habit and have really fallen into two go-to meals with the occasional new thing.
The two things I mainly eat are peanut butter chicken and chicken pizza. They are both quick and easy meals to put together which is the main reason I stick to them so much. The only part of either of these that really takes any time is making the chicken but if you make enough for the week one night, or have a wonderful mom who does it for you (thanks mom!), then it’s a piece of cake.
Peanut Butter Chicken
This isn’t like the Chinese peanut butter chicken which I love so much, but it’s still pretty good. It’s also the easiest of the two meals to make. All you do is get 4oz chicken, 2 tbsp of peanut butter, and 3/4oz of cheese. Then all you have to do is throw them all together and stick it in the microwave for a bit. Of course, you can use more or less if you like but if you’re on the 5’6 reboot plan like I am, these amounts cover your 3 proteins and 2 fats that are allowed for the meal.
Ways to Mix it Up
Every now and then, I will use beef instead of chicken for this meal just to throw in some variants. If you’re doing Profile just remember that beef isn’t considered a very lean protein so you won’t be able to use as much. For me, I only get 3oz of beef which is part of the reason I use chicken so much if I’m being honest. I enjoy my food so of course I went with something I can have more of.
Chicken Pizza
I know this doesn’t sound like something that one can have while trying to eat healthier but it is! Profile has a pizza crust that acts as a thin pizza crust and counts as 2 proteins. They also have a roasted red pepper sauce that is amazing and counts as a veggie which is honestly how I get most of my veggies taken care of. This meal takes a little bit more prep but is also quick and easy. Depending on how fast your oven preheats, this meal still only takes maybe 10-15min, unless you decide to grill it in which case it’ll take you around 25-30min.
All I do is squirt some sauce on the crust, spread it around, cut up 2oz of chicken and toss it on, and then top it off with 1.5oz of cheese. Then I put in on the Pizazz for 8-10min and it’s good to go. If you like your crust to be crunchier, I suggest using a Pizazz instead of the oven if you have one. The oven does just fine as well but I definitely like using the Pizazz better.
I’m from the Midwest so you know I love dipping my pizza in ranch! You could use 2tbsp of ranch and count it as a fat but then you would have to cut down your cheese usage to 3/4oz. If you’re a cheese lover like me, then that’s not an option. Instead, I use Walden Farm’s chipotle ranch which is calorie-free so it counts as a flex food. They have a lot of different flavors as well if you don’t like chipotle.
Ways to Mix it Up
Just like the peanut butter chicken, occasionally I will use 1oz of beef instead of 2oz of chicken. I have also thrown some veggies on there before and that wasn’t too bad. I think it was some cauliflower with some kind of spicy seasoning on it but I don’t fully remember.
The pizza crust is also thin enough that you could use it kind of like a tortilla so I have also mixed the two meals by spreading some peanut butter on the crust, putting the chicken and cheese on it, and having myself a little peanut butter chicken wrap which I’m sure would have been even better had I then tossed it in the oven or on the grill for a little bit.
My main point in making this post was to show y’all that just because you are focusing on eating healthier doesn’t mean that you can’t still find a meal you love. It doesn’t always have to be boring chicken and rice nor does it have to consist of expensive products. For both meals, the most expensive part of it is the chicken and even that’s not bad, especially when you’re only eating 2-4 oz a day.
If you follow my Instagram or like my Facebook page, I will be posting pictures of both meals throughout the week!
If you have any fun go-to meals while on Profile, or even just in general, I would love to hear them!
As always, I’m rooting for you! Go out there and do great things!
