## The 3-Part Formula Behind Every 90+ Score Bowl

Whenever you open the fridge at 7:30 PM feeling tired, decision fatigue pushes you toward delivery apps. **Chef Mew** solves this by turning whatever is already on your shelves into a balanced macro bowl using three building blocks:

1. **The 35g+ Protein Core:** Canned wild tuna, rotisserie or pan-seared chicken breast, extra-lean ground turkey, pasture eggs + egg whites, or strained Greek yogurt / cottage cheese.
2. **The Fiber & Volume Base:** Canned white beans or chickpeas, microwaveable jasmine/brown rice paired with shredded cabbage, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, or baby spinach.
3. **The High-Protein Sauce Swap:** Replace mayonnaise-heavy sauces (`100 kcal per tbsp`) with strained 2% Greek yogurt blended with lemon juice, garlic, sriracha, or herbs (`15 kcal + 2.5g protein per tbsp`).
