Low Cal Cava!

I like to get the dressings on the side so I can choose how much I want but I included the info for if you just get them regularly on top of the bowl. Sometimes I get the basmati rice along with the spinach it varies each time I go, but this is a pretty good guide for when I go eat on a calorie deficit🤞 #cava #eatingout #caloriedefict #caloriecouting #glutenfree

... Read moreIf you're on a calorie deficit, navigating menu options at restaurants like Cava can be challenging but rewarding. One great way to maintain control is by customizing your order, such as choosing dressings on the side to manage calorie intake and enhance taste based on your preferences. For a nutritious yet satisfying meal, consider opting for a base of basmati rice or spinach, which are both filling and lower in calories. You might add protein-rich options like steak or chicken, combined with fresh toppings such as hummus, tomatoes, and onions, to create a balanced dish. Ordering gluten-free is straightforward at Cava, making it easier for those with dietary restrictions. By keeping an eye on portion sizes and opting for items like hot harissa vinaigrette as a side drizzle, you can enjoy bold flavors while keeping your meal light. This method also allows you to personalize your bowl, ensuring it fits your dietary needs without compromising on taste. Finally, always remember to keep track of your calorie intake with available online resources or apps, which can provide insights into your meal choices. Overall, enjoying a meal out while on a calorie deficit can be simple and satisfying with the right strategies in place.

CAVA… but Aldi edition
I spend money on Cava at least once a week. Sometimes twice. And with the money I spend DoorDashing Cava every week, I could just do an Aldi order to recreate my Cava order at home. And it's quick! #cava #aldifinds #mealprep #aldirecipe #bowlmeals

these are super easy and convenient if you live far from Cava like i do🥲 $34.27 for all ingredients and most all of it you don’t have to repurchase. 1 sirloin makes me about 3 bowls and 1 cava order is usually $20. It tastes just as good and i’m obsessed!!
