Baked Potato Bar

This is dinner with zero fuss: potatoes go in the microwave while you set out toppings, then everyone builds their own plate. It's an easy way to hit your macros since you control exactly how much cheese, sour cream and bacon goes on, and the potato itself brings filling complex carbs. Swap in Greek yogurt for sour cream or go heavier on toppings for more protein and fat depending on what fits your day.
