We've opted for turkey meatballs instead of beef, and bake instead of fry to cut back on extra calories and saturated fat. This means each portion is under 400 calories and is packed with 24g of protein to help with muscle recovery and keep you feeling fuller for longer. You can also add more veg to bulk out your portion size too!

Don't fancy rice? Switch out the basmati rice for another grain like couscous, quinoa, or bulgur wheat, or pair with noodles instead.
