WHAT I ATE FOR DINNER




Since I burned about 1400 calories working out this morning, I decided to have a very nutrition dense dinner. Pictured above is my quinoa, sweet potato fries, and a baked chicken drumstick concoction. I usually just pop my sweet potato in the microwave for about 10 minutes then eat it out of the shell, but today I decided to have some baked sweet potato fries. 

Baked Potato:
I just cut up one whole baked potato, sprinkled some salt on it, and sprayed some pam olive oil spray on it, then popped it in the oven at 425 degrees for about 15 minutes or until soft. 

Chicken
I always get my chicken drumsticks from Aldi because they are the least processed for the most money. They advertise that they don't add any steroids or preservatives to the chicken and in my opinion they taste the best. I just lightly put some of the Lawry's Hawaiin marinade sauce on it, with some Nigerian seasonings (maggi( nigerian cubed chicken stock seasoning that can be bought at any African or international foods stores, 2 cubes for the 9 drumsticks) and some pepper to create some spice to it and bake for at 45 minutes at 425 degrees.

Qunioa:
I measured 1/4 cup dry quinoa, put about 1.5 cups of water on there and cooked for about 15 minutes ( I like my quinoa well done). After that I put some of the sauce from my baked chicken on top of the quinoa for some flavor. 

Total: 
About 502 calories (give or take). 72 g. Carbs (Mostly from the sweet potato and Quinoa and these are really good and whole carbs). 11g Fat (from the chicken, if you take the skin off usually  knocks it down to about 2g. fat), 30g Protein. 

Enjoy!
