Meatloaf Lettuce Wraps

Meal: 302 cal Protein: 18 g Carbs: 23 g Fat: 16 g

This meatloaf is such a winner! Traditional Meatloaf sandwiches weigh in at a hefty 600-1000 calories while this one is a lean 302 calories. But don’t be food by the lack of calories. You won’t even notice that half the meat is gone by adding riced broccoli in its place. Second, we smart-swapped to oatmeal as a binder in place of breadcrumbs for more nutritional value, protein, and fiber. The flavor booster spices AND caramelized onions make this dish memorable! And don’t forget to take advantage of this dish’s ability to last in the fridge a couple of days – so it can be immediately packaged for lunch or dinner tomorrow.
