Simple meal: minimal carbs with decent protein
This is great for any meal of the day. I usually eat something based around this meal for either dinner or breakfast, as I work out of the house during the day. This is a great and SIMPLE meal no matter what your goal is: cutting or bulking. Simply adjust the ratios of food and there you have it.

From this meal, even at 18g of fat, you are still only getting 3g's of saturated fat, with the rest being poly and monounsaturated (good fats). Cholesterol content; although may be high; is because of the eggs, which is currently viewed as "good" (although they flip-flop on it every other year it seems). Cholesterol is the building blocks of hormones such as testosterone! Sodium may be high, but RDI is at 2,400mg, so it's about 50% of that. Not too big of a deal, considering that's with a 2000 calorie diet...
Simple yet efficient dish, enjoy with a little texas pete too

to much protein in one sitting for me. Stick the chicken on the bread and slap some low fat mozzarella, for an extra 8 grams of protein, some romaine lettuce,and/or other veggies of your choice, and some some spicy brown deli mustard and you'll have yourself a tasty meal

Like I said, you can adjust to your liking. For 235, that is certainly not too much protein for me.

Nice meal. I'm a low carber so I would add some enova oil for poly fats and get rid of the bread.
I dont think its too much protein either.

If you get rid of the bread there should be 0 carbs in that baby. Have at it!
