NOTES:
A tuna and rice bowl is one of my go to lunches as I can whip it up in 5 minutes. I always change what I add into it depending on what I have in the fridge and I mix up using tofu and chicken as well.
The non negotiables for it to taste good AND be filling are;
Rice: I need the carbohydrates from the rice especially post training
Tuna: The chilli or flavoured tuna makes SUCH a difference but the oil in the tuna adds exta healthy fats to the meal to help keep me full (make sure the oil is extra virgin olive oil)
Chickpeas or beans: I don't always have these on hand but when I do it adds so much extra nutrients to the meal with extra protein, fibre, carbs and flavour so I would highly recommend this.
Veggies: If i have fresh salad or veggies on hand I usually add in a minimum of 2 cups
The measurements and ingredients can easily altered to suit your own taste.
