So, I wanted to find a way to make one fit into my macros and still rock mine and your world. I love to make this for lunch or as a quick snack if I’m limited on time. AND this chicken quesadilla has 11g of fiber! Just for reference, the recommended amount of fiber per day is 25g for females and 38g for males. Which means this meal can make a major dent in those number and makes this chicken quesadilla a high fiber food. Check this baby out below!

As I’ve always stated on this site, I have a realistic outlook on nutrition. I believe in no food item being off the table and to make whatever you desire work within your allotted macro gram goals per meal. One of my favorite hobbies is to take a comfort food meal and make it healthier so that it can be consumed regularly, guilt free. This quesadilla definitely falls into that category and I hope you give it a try.
