It's a way of eating that allows you to eat what you want as long as it fits into your daily limit of fat, carbs, calories and protein. I'm honestly on the fence about this. Do I think it's okay to eat a Big Mac just because it fits your macros? No. Is it okay to allow yourself a cookie or granola bar {homemade of course! Check out my recipe HERE}? Yes.
When I looked at my approved food list for this months diet I realized something. The approved foods combined to make FAJITAS!!! I love finding normal dishes that I can alter to be Bikini Approved.
If I had been making this for the whole family I would have bought tortillas but, since it was just me eating it I decided to skip the tortillas and make it into a salad. Oddly, I think I prefer making it into a salad.
The nutritional information posted for this recipe is without the sour cream and salsa.
