Weight Loss and Leftover Chicken Breast

A lot of people have been asking if I planned on/hoped/was actually losing weight on this WHOLE 30 diet. I had not really hoped or wanted to lose any weight on it because I felt I was at a great weight at 115-120 lbs being 5 ft 3. It's now day 18 and my weight is actually on the lower side at 114 lbs. So nothing too crazy going on here weight wise. I know that my friend who is "half" doing it with me lost a couple pounds in the first week. I also know that a lot of people struggle to get all the calories they need when they really follow WHOLE 30 to a T. I think my sugar intake has been too high to do that. My body really craves sugar, though. It's really difficult not to give it what it wants, you know?

Anyway - today will be quick I would just like to share what I did with leftover roast chicken breast. Yes, this was that hot and delicious "just chicken" roast chicken I got from Whole Foods. I enjoyed the limbs and the fattiest parts first. Obviously. They taste the best. Duh.

The breast usually lingers in the fridge. It's dry. It's no one's favorite. So I shredded up the chicken and added about 3-4 tbsp chipotle salsa and a pat or 2 of grass fed clarified butter and added it to a saute pan. I then added some spices (was very tempted to add fresh garlic but was just too lazy). I ended it off with salt and pepper. I topped it off in my bowl with some fresh avocado. This added some fat and moisture and LOADS of flavor back in to some perfectly good but undesirable chicken. Boom.
