Delicious High Protein Recipes

When it comes to keeping hunger at bay and building lean, strong muscles, protein is major. So, if you needed a reminder to eat more high-protein meals, well, consider this it.

In addition to helping to repair muscle damage after workouts, the stuff also keeps your metabolism revved throughout the day.

Oh, and it fills you up, too. Since protein moves more slowly through the stomach than carbohydrates and fat, it can contribute to feelings of fullness after a meal. That's why we always recommend you load up on protein (along with some fat and fiber) at meals to feel more satisfied.

Protein is especially important for anyone who regularly hits up bootcamp class or never misses a gym day. Exactly how much YOU need, though, depends. And don't worry; getting there is easier than you think. You can easily achieve this amount with a four-ounce serving of chicken, two eggs paired with whole-grain toast, or tofu paired with quinoa. The options are limitless. Get started with one of these Delicious High Protein Recipes.
