Why protein first

When your appetite gets smaller, what you eat matters more. Protein helps you feel full and supports the muscle you want to keep while you lose weight. These recipes put protein first, so a smaller plate still counts.

Stay full longerProtein-rich meals help keep hunger in check between meals.
Support your muscleGetting enough protein supports the muscle you want to keep.
Small portionsServing sizes that suit a lighter appetite.
Real foodEggs, chicken, fish and vegetables. Nothing hard to find.
Chicken katsu smashed tacos with pickled slaw and katsu sauce
Chicken Katsu Smashed Tacos: 33.3 g protein, 55.1 g carbs.
