It’s that time of year again! Cool fall days… Football season… tailgating… This can be a big pitfall for a lot of people. You know me, I’m not here to hold you hard and tell you “yes it’s tempting, give yourself a little break, don’t be so hard on yourself…” That kind of nonsense is for people that don’t want you to reach your goals! I want you to succeed. That means sticking to the plan and making smart decisions.
To help y’all out a bit, I have collected a few really GOOD recipes that can keep you locked in with your macros and budgets.
Healthy Tailgate, Football Season Foods
MUSCLE BUILDING BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS
Ingredients:
18 oz. chicken breasts (510 g)
1/2 cup oat flour (60 g)
Seasonings of your choice
1 tbsp. olive oil
Buffalo hot sauce
Makes 3 servings. Per serving:
265 calories
7g fat
14g carbs
35g protein
Healthy High Protein Ranch Dressing
To go with those wings, check out TR Coach, and my friend, Lance Lyell!
Obviously, this dressing is great for veggies too. Bring a full veggie tray is a great way to safe guard yourself at a get together that will have lots of temptations. You can eat TONS of raw veggies before it makes any difference. So eat those baby carrots, bell peppers, and broccoli. The other big plus is that raw veggies can really fill you up.
Protein Pizza!!!
Now you might want to save a little fat for this recipe, but you won’t need much. This is a quick and easy one too.
Lay out the wrap on a cookie sheet. Top with sauce, cheese, and chicken (pre-cooked, great for left overs). Bake for about 10 minutes at 400*F and EAT IT! This one is really easy to dial up the protein if you need it with more chicken too. You could also drop the fat a bit more, if you don’t have the budgets, with using fat free cheese. Not as good and melty though :)
SHAKEOLOGY ICE CREAM!
If you save your Shakeology for later in the day, take some time to make this treat. Kills the sweet tooth in me! Recipe from Beachbody.com :)

Keep it dialed in and find fun ways to hit your budgets!
See, hitting Fat Shredder and your deficit doesn’t have to always be chicken and green beans. Just plan ahead and budget those calories and macros in ways that let you fit these recipes in. The important thing is hitting your goals consistently and accurately. I have found these recipes to be big helps when I am dialing it in and still want some of my old favorites.
