Macro Adjustments:

Below outlines the items in each macro group that are easily adjustable to meet your specific macro goals. 

Fat:

The fat in this recipe comes from the steak and the oil the steak is cooked in. If you wanted to increase the fat in this recipe you could choose a fattier steak. However, if you are looking to decrease the fat in this recipe you would need to use a leaner cut of steak, or replace the steak with chicken breast.

Carbohydrates: 

The carbs in this recipe comes mainly from veggies and cauliflower rice. The easiest way to adjust the carbs would be to increase or decrease the amount of veggies used. 

Protein: 

The protein in this recipe comes from the steak. The steak also has fat, therefore if you adjust the amount of steak used you will be adjusting both the protein and the fat. So pay close attention to your measurements and tracking when making adjustments to reach your macro goals.

Meal Prep

Yes. This is a great recipe for meal prep. However, if meal prepping you will want to slightly undercook the steak. Otherwise, when you go to reheat this recipe your steak will be overcooked and become a little chewy. Still delicious though. In the fridge, this recipe will last about 5 days. 

Freezer Friendly:

Yes, this is a good freezer-friendly recipe. When reheating I recommend allowing to defrost overnight in the fridge. Then reheat in either the microwave or on the stovetop. On the stove will provide the best results. But either will work just fine.
