Made it for dinner tonight and it was amazing! Cooked it at 350 for an hour though and doubled everything.

I had some really issues with this recipe. One, cooking chicken that long dries it out. I find cooking chicken breasts at high temps 450-500° for 15 mins. leaves it very moist. Also, the seasonings just hardened into a crust and fell off as I was shredding the chicken because of how long it was in the oven. Not terrible, but not terribly memorable.

  You might not have had enough moisture in your chicken breasts to begin with. Sealing the foil around your pan good helps create steam and moisture to moisten the breast as it cooked. If you want to make sure you can always add a tablespoon or two of water )or chicken broth) for added moisture when roasting in the oven.

  I did the same thing and i read that my electrolytes may be off so I ordered a powder electrolyte that you mix in your water and sure enough I started losing again. Not sure if this is what is happening with you or not but just relaying my own experience. Just don't over do if you try it.

  the same thing happened to me. Starting with high fat is good but then I realized I had to reduce the high calorie fats such as MCT oil and I was right back on track. I dont let the app take off calories for exercise and that helps too.

  Try reducing your fat intake it it’s fairly high. Macros aren’t always perfect. I reduced my fat from 130gm to 90gm and it helped. Also try restricting your eating time to 6hours per day. Don’t give up

  Try the intermittent fasting along with switching things up. If you have a bigger meal for dinner try having it for breakfast or lunch. Keep at it and don't give up. I hit a stall in weight loss for almost 2 month but keep in mind a lot of times even if you're not loosing weight you can still be loosing inches which is just as good. You got this!!!

Do you cook the Cauliflower Rice?

1
- recipewriter 6 years ago
  
  You could use raw cauliflower rice, but cooking it first may be preferred! You can simply steam your rice, or you could cook it lightly in a pan with your preferred cooking oil. Make sure to add any extra oil you use to your nutrition log. Hope this helps!

I'm new to this, what is cauliflower rice ???

1
- recipewriter 6 years ago
  
  Hi there, Cauliflower rice is simply "rice" that has been made from cauliflower! You can use a cheese grater or food processor to grate the cauliflower into small "rice" pieces, or you can buy already prepared cauliflower rice in the freezer section at your grocery store. Hope this helps!

How much avocado for each serving ?

0
- tja4043fec 6 years ago
  
  Let's see, the directions state the entire recipe is for 2 servings, so if you're looking for 1 serving, divide the recipe in halves and the answer would be 1/2 of the recipe.

  Hi there! Please note that you need to include additional toppings, such as avocado, at your discretion. It's really up to you how much avocado you'd like to include in each bowl. We would suggest no more than 3 ounces of avocado per serving, as this will add a little under 9g of carbs to your meal. Hope this helps!

  I don’t get the impression that it includes any of the extras you see there.
