Common Questions

How much protein do I actually need per day?

A practical starting point is 1.6–2.2 g of protein per kg of bodyweight for people who train regularly. If you weigh 80 kg, that’s roughly 130–175 g per day. Most recipes on this site deliver 30–50 g per serving, so three meals gets you most of the way there.

Are high-protein recipes only for people trying to build muscle?

Not at all. Protein is the most satiating macronutrient, which makes high-protein eating one of the most effective strategies for fat loss too. It also helps preserve muscle when you’re in a calorie deficit — something low-protein diets typically don’t do well.

Can I use these recipes for meal prep?

Most recipes here are excellent for meal prep. Look for the 🥡 Meal Prep Favorites section above, or filter by the meal-prep tag in search. Each recipe page also has a dedicated Meal Prep & Storage guide with fridge and freezer times.

How are the nutrition figures calculated?

Macros are calculated using standard USDA food composition data and verified against common food databases. Figures are per serving as stated in the recipe. Exact numbers can vary slightly based on ingredient brands and cooking method.
