Eating sufficient protein can help with weight loss while preserving muscle. Print this high protein food list for your fridge or notebook today and get new ideas for dietary protein. But, I thought a more comprehensive list would be fun to make, organized by how many grams of protein you get when weights are equal (100 grams). What is protein? Proteins are large molecules found in living cells. Proteins are like building blocks to build tissues in the human body, such as muscle tissue, bones, blood, and even hormones.

20 High Protein Casserole Recipes

I love casseroles, as I’m sure many of you do too. There’s something that is oh, so comforting about them. What’s more, they can feed a crowd. Casseroles also good for meal prepping- bake once, and you have leftovers you can pack for lunch or even dinner. Also, most casseroles use only one dish. So, you don’t have a ton of cleanup at the end. But most casseroles contain a ton of refined carbs and very little protein. This is a problem because when you don’t have enough protein, you don’t feel full…and that dessert seems so tempting. I have the perfect solution: High Protein Casseroles.

20 High Protein Meal Prep Ideas

Are you trying to lose weight? Protein is the key. When you lose weight, you also lose muscle mass. And that’s when you get saggy, loose skin- yuck! By adding more protein to your diet, you increase your muscle mass. And in turn, you look better in your clothes. Adding more protein can also help you lose weight in the first place too. That’s because of all the macronutrients (protein, carbs, fat), protein helps you feel full the most. And when you feel full, you’re less likely to binge on unhealthy foods. Like that bag of chips that is calling your name. But we all live busy lives, and eating high protein meals can fall by the wayside. So, it’s a good idea to meal prep, so you have no excuse not to eat high protein meals. Today, I’m sharing 20 high protein meal prep ideas. They’re not only high in protein but delicious as well. 1.
