We did a round of Insanity workout by Beachbody and what I love about the workout is the elite nutrition plan that came with it. I don't know about you but scouring the web for low-calorie meals is time-consuming. One of the meals in that cookbook is Turkey Chili. You can use homemade or store-bought or Veggie Chili. If you know me, I will make it homemade ( granting it's easy--and it is!) to save money. I was on a mission to lose weight and be healthy BUT doing it on a budget. Here's a very easy, clean eating recipe for you. If you want to know the exact calorie count, you can do so at nutritiondata.self.com. If you are planning to cook this recipe in line with Insanity work out, follow the measurement (serving) indicated on the Elite Nutrition Book
