Tips
- This recipe is very low effort and requires minimal ingredients for days you don 't feel like cooking but want a delicious meal.
- Cooking on a sheet pan with parchment paper means no dishes afterward.
- Pair this with a side salad, roasted vegetables, or pasta to round out the dish.
- The idea that you can only absorb 30g of protein at once is a myth; up to 100g of protein in one sitting is useful for muscle building. Eating more isn 't a waste as it will make the meal incredibly satiating, which is great for weight loss goals. You can also split this into two meals.
- Using a fat-free marinara sauce can cut down on calories and fat macros.
