Prepare Meat
Step one is select the food.
Pictured I am creating Bison burgers.
I thaw out the meat and then read the back of the container for nutritional facts such as calories, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.
Prepare to Cook
As I create the patties, I use the scale as a guide.
In the previous step the nutrition facts states a serving size is 4 oz of pattie. Therefore, I must assure my patty meets the requirements for the serving size.
Assembly
As Patty cooks for 8 minutes in air fryer at 400 degrees I assemble the other ingredients of my sandwich.
Making sure to not the nutrition facts and add them accordingly.
2 servings of bread since I am using two slices. 1 serving of cheese for one slice.
Even condiments have nutritional values. It is a good rule of thumb to believe everything besides water that passes the lips has some sort of calorie or nutritional value.
Sandwich Complete
Once patty is complete, place all parts together on plate and prepare to package or put into containers for the week.
Meal Prepped.
My meal is complete.
On Sundays I find the time best for me to spend the day cooking and preparing meals for the week ahead.
I make burgers, pasta, and have dinner ready for me to prepare when I arrive at home.
