Ultimate Macro Friendly Meal Prep: Delicious Pizza Tater Tot Casserole
Do you have a cup of coffee in your hand? Because I want to welcome you into my kitchen! As I navigate through this final postpartum season, I’m committed to getting healthy and in the best shape of my life and one of the biggest pieces of that is tracking my macros and utilizing macro friendly meal prep.
I’ve had three babies in four years. I gained 50 lbs and have kept it on. I’ve had a c-section. I’ve had a kid in the NICU, I’ve experienced loss and heartache, I’ve fallen into the “I’ll just eat one chicken nugget” off the plate, and I’ve honestly just fallen into some really unhealthy eating habits
I was the heaviest weight I’ve ever been, and I was feeling overwhelmed and stuck.
Maybe you can relate?
Something had to change.
That’s when I started tracking my macros and following the FASTer Way To Fat Loss program. This has not only helped me stay on track but also discover delicious, macro-friendly recipes that fuel my body and keep me satisfied.
One of my favorite meal prep recipes so far that perfectly aligns with my health goals is this Pizza Tater Tot Casserole. It’s literally. So. Good.
And when a recipe is this good, I want to make sure I share it with you!
I eat the same lunch five days a week, and this recipe is one I actually look forward to every day. Whether you’re on a similar postpartum journey or just looking to add some variety to your meal prep routine, this recipe is sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
I’ll be doing an update on my FASTer Way To Fat Loss progress soon (I’m currently on week 3 of my 6-week challenge), so stay tuned for more insights and tips from my journey. But for now, let’s dive in and get cooking!
Before I share this YUMMY macro friendly meal prep recipe – Who is Sid?
Hey there! I’m Sidnee, a mom to three crazy littles three and under—life is absolutely chaotic in the best way possible. By day, you’ll find me momming and in the inbetweens I’m a blogger and Pinterest marketer, sharing insights on lifestyle and motherhood, or helping life-first biz owners navigate the world of online business and marketing.
I’m on a journey to keep the spark alive in my marriage, grow as a Proverbs 31 woman, get in the best shape of my life, and—let’s be honest—trying to avoid dressing like Adam Sandler every day (even though comfy clothes are oh-so-tempting!).
When I’m not chasing after my little ones or working on my blog, I dream of homesteading and living off the grid. But I also have a soft spot for those late-night Pinterest scrolls. It’s all about finding the balance, right?
