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.

Small portionsServing sizes that suit a lighter appetite.
Real foodEggs, chicken, fish and vegetables. Nothing hard to find.
