Alright were over 2 weeks into the contest and your goal for this week was to do a "meal re-do" meaning, take one of your not so healthy recipes and clean it up! I also wanted some "proof in the pudding" so I asked you to take a picture of your re-do and give me the nutritional values per serving. Below is Christina's veggie stuffed peppers! Her re-do was to swap out the traditional white rice and use Quinoa instead, as well as using a low-fat cheese. And each of these giant stuffed peppers is only 163 calories!

Here's is Alison's re-do, instead of potato chips on toast with peanut-butter, she substituted homemade Kale chips!...must be a English/Wales thing!
Then we have Amanda's chicken wrap re-do with Greek yogurt, "ranch" chicken salad lettuce wrap!
And for Melissa's lasagna re-do, she made a Zucchini layered vegetable lasagna. This whole dish came in under 665 calories! So you CAN have your cheese and eat it too!
This was awesome effort, really well done everyone! My point was to teach you that with a little effort you can clean your favorite meals up and still really enjoy them and not feel deprived. I hope you continue to get a little creative and see what you can come up with. You may have hits and misses but the point is, you're on your way to creating new habits and a healthier you!
