Deceivingly Healthful Dinner
This dinner bento was created at the same time that I made my husband's lunch bento for today. I crammed it full of things I like and took the picture and then sat down to crunch the numbers. I had weighed out all of the components (I have a handy digital scale, so this is a light task--just plop it down before it goes in the box), so it was easy for the calculation. It's a very hearty meal clocking in quite low!
Some chicken breast left over from a meal over the weekend, purple new potatoes, carrots (from CSA), broccoli, and champagne grapes. There is also a little container (tucked under the broccoli) that contains some spicy/sweet stir-fry sauce to dip the veggies in.
Nutritional Information: 236 calories, 2g fat, 39g carbs, 19 protein
Unreal, isn't it? Since my lunch was on the high side for fat, the extremely low amount in this meal actually balances everything out. I'm eating this meal as I type and it's really satisfying. I love good veggies. It's also nice to have cooked carrots once in a while. The thick cut is reminding me of carrots in stew, which is awfully nice on a fall day like today.
