    50 gram

    (these were the ingredients I added if I had the calories. I eventually got rid of these to save calories as my calories got lower)

Directions

  • Preparation
  • Prepare your choice of meat. I usually make taco-seasoned beef or kangaroo mince. 1 packet of taco seasoning mix is used per 500g of mince.
  • Chop the cos lettuce and tomatoes, and grate the carrots.
  • Cut the pumpkin into small pieces, spray lightly with oil, and add a dash of salt. Roast in the oven at 200°C for about 30 minutes (flipping halfway), or until tender and slightly golden.
  • Cooking
  • Add all the ingredients to a large bowl, adjusting the amounts based on your calorie and macro needs.
    Mix well — and enjoy!

Notes

  • Main ingredients: lettuce, tomatoes, roasted pumpkin and protein source (these were the main ingredients I would adjust if I wanted to increase volume or protein without significantly impacting the calories)
  • Dressing
    -Sour cream (I would adjust this up and down depending on how many fats I had left at the end of the day)
    -Chilli sauce (I would adjust this up and down according to how much volume the salad was)
  • Calorie and macros are based off of kangaroo mince
