5 Quick Macros Based Dinner Ideas

Looking for more macros-based dinner ideas?
Here are 5 meals that I like to eat pretty regularly that are super fast to make, full of nutrition, and have a good macro balance.
You may have to adjust the portions of each ingredient some to better meet your individual calorie and macro needs.
5 Healthy Macro Meals
1. Shrimp Teriyaki Stir Fry
Directions:
- Chop the veggies and stir fry them in a nonstick skillet on medium heat until they are as soft as you prefer. I cook mine for about 10 minutes.
- While the veggies are cooking put the frozen shrimp in a double boiler and steam them until they just turn white and pink. If you put some vinegar in the water the shrimp will have a better texture.
- Cook the rice in the microwave as directed.
- In a serving bowl, place the rice topped with the veggies and then add the shrimp. Drizzle with the sauce. Serve.
2. Grilled Chicken Dinner
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 400° F. Spray the potatoes with some olive oil cooking spray. Toss some garlic seasoning on them. Place them in the oven for 25 minutes.
- While the potatoes are roasting, Season some frozen or fresh chicken tenderloins and place them on the gas grill or in a nonstick skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes on both sides. (a little longer if from frozen)
- While the chicken is cooking, steam the snow peas in a covered pot with a little water for about 5 minutes.
- When the potatoes are done, plate everything up and serve with a dip of your choice and some sour cream for the potatoes. Salt and pepper as desired.
3. High Protein Shrimp Ceasar Salad
Directions:
- In a large pot, cook the lentil pasta as directed.
- While the pasta is cooking put the frozen shrimp in a double boiler and steam them until they just turn white and pink. If you put some vinegar in the water the shrimp will have a better texture.
- Once the pasta and shrimp have been cooked, place the pasta, and prepared spring mix in a serving bowl. Top with the shrimp, grated parmesan cheese, and caesar dressing. Dig in
4. Delicious Macro Bowl Recipe
Directions:
- Cook the rice as directed. (To save even more time, you can use “Ready Rice”.)
- While the rice is coking, butterfly a 7 oz chicken breast, season, and cook on the gas grill or in a nonstick pan. (About 5 minutes on each side)
- While the chicken is cooking, cut up your sweet mini peppers, cherry tomatoes, and avocado. Drain and rinse the beans.
- Once the rice and chicken have been cooked, assemble your bowl using all the ingredients. You can top the bowl with a lite dressing of your choice or hot sauce if you don’t want the extra calories/macros. Serve.
5. Grilled Chicken Dinner Alternate
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 400° F. Spray the potatoes with some olive oil cooking spray. Toss some garlic seasoning on them. Place them in the oven for 25 minutes.
- While the potatoes are roasting, Season some frozen or fresh chicken tenderloins and place them on the gas grill or in a nonstick skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes on both sides. (a little longer if from frozen)
- While the chicken is cooking, steam the broccoli in a covered pot with a little water for about 5 minutes.
- When the potatoes are done, plate everything up and serve with a dip of your choice and some sour cream for the potatoes. Salt and pepper as desired.
