Recipes

Here are some high protein recipes for you to try out. You’ll have to change amount of each ingredient to make it work for your own protein and calorie requirements, so make sure you enter everything in myfitnesspal and play with the numbers before you start cooking.

And by the way, there’s no reason why you can’t eat a breakfast recipe for lunch, a lunch recipe for dinner etc. as long as you’re ending each day at an overall calorie deficit.

More vegetarian and vegan recipes are coming soon.
