Macro Adjustments:

Below outlines the items in each macro group that are easily adjustable to meet your specific macros.

Fat:

The fat in this recipe comes from the beef and the oil the potatoes are cooked in. Adjusting the beef will also adjust the amount of protein, so you will want to keep an eye on that when making adjustments. I would not recommend adjusting the oil because you will either have too little and the potatoes will stick to the bottom of your pan, or you will have too much and the recipe would be oily.

Carbohydrates:

The carbs in this recipe come from the potatoes. Obviously, an easy ingredient to adjust to increase or decrease the carbs. If you would like you could change out the Yukon potatoes for sweet potatoes.

Protein:

Meat is the protein. Which is very easily increased or decreased. Although you will want to keep an eye on the amount of fat. By making changes to the amount of beef you will also be adjusting the fat.

Meal Prep:

Yes, this recipe is meal prep-able and will last up to 6 days in the fridge.

Freezer Friendly:

No, I don’t recommend freezing this recipe. I have found that the meat will become too tough since there isn’t a sauce involved with this recipe to help keep the meat moist.
