Who doesn’t love a sandwich right? But can you eat great big tasty sandwiches while sticking to your macros? Well with this chicken sandwich you can stick to all your goals its packed full of 28g of protein at just  509 Kcal, wedged between 3 pieces of bread.  This high protein lunch is low in fat will leave you satisfied until dinner.

The ingredients

3 slices of bread is the key to this sandwich, giving it great size but also allowing you to stuff it full of ingredients.  Cheese is always a great addition to a sandwich, but is not normally great for the macros. However the trick is to use a 50% reduced fat cheese, I know that these don’t taste as good however melting these reduced fat cheeses makes them awesome.
