You can just prepare all the ingredients and then let everyone fill their own bowl with exactly what they want and how much they want of it. This Mexican Burrito Bowl was an awesome meal when I was preparing for my fitness competition using the flexible dieting approach. I could know exactly how much of every ingredient I was eating which made it easy and highly accurate for entering into My Fitness Pal. Also, I could modify it depending on what I’d eaten for the rest of the day.
