Since according to my trainer’s suggestion of 1800 calories on workout days and 1600 on non-workout days, I decided to make a little heartier soup with protein for my workout day lunch. Never made a chili before, so looked up a few recipes and came up with this one.

1 package of turkey meat, I got the 93% lean Jennie-o

1 Reduced sodium chili seasoning mix

1 small can of salsa

1 small can of refried beans

1 bag of frozen corn

1 can of diced tomatoes with habanero (I like some spice)

2 cups chicken broth

1 1/2 onion

1 green pepper

Threw it all into a pot and it turned out really good! I’m definitely digging this one.

Stats according to MyFitnessPal:

325 Calories

36.4g carbs

Overall, not bad with the exception of sodium. That’s pretty much half a day’s worth of sodium in one bowl! I’m not incredibly concerned since I’m doing such low sodium in other meals, but in the future I’ll definitely look into finding ways to cut sodium. Definitely in the chili seasoning mix and all the cans of various things, maybe cut the tomatoes myself?

Remembered to take a pic this time, here’s what it looked like while cooking!
