 Fried rice is something I gave up a long time ago when I was overweight and knew I needed to ditch some foods to be healthier.
I think it gets a bad name because typically when ordered from a restaurant it's saturated in oils and made with fatty pork pieces and few veggies that are nutrient rich. I also think it's frowned upon because it is usually a side dish, and a large one at that- the containers restaurants use are 2-3 servings worth. When I started eating cleaner and thinking of recipes I could make clean and continue eating, fried rice was one of them. I thought how can I put the right portion of carbs, protein and fat in a yummy dish that is filling enough to be a main course, but not too high in carbs or calories? So, I started playing around with recipes and entering them into My Fitness Pal to see what the macros were. This is the recipe I came up with, and Dave and I have enjoyed ever since. Ingredients:

 There are many, many times during the day that toast can be a great option. My go-to bread option has been David's Killer Bread recently. Maybe it's because of the story of "David," maybe it's because most of their products are vegan, or maybe it's just because it's delicious. But, whatever your choice of bread, here are some ideas to put that bread to good use! Peanut butter bananaPeanut butter and bananas just go well together, don't they? This has a few extras as well: 1 piece of toast 1 TBS peanut butter (or almond butter, sun butter, cashew butter) 1/4 banana sliced A pinch of cinnamon 1 TSP of hemp seeds Small drizzle of agave tomato Avocado1 piece of toast 1/2 avocado sliced or spread 3-5 cherry tomatoes sliced Salt to taste Extras: Fresh basil Drizzle of balsamic or olive oil Hazelnut yumminess1 piece of toast 1 TBS hazelnut spread Small handful of blueberries OR 3-5 sliced strawberries 1/4 c slivered almonds Extras: Agave Give one a try and let us know what you think!
