Why protein matters

Protein is one of the most crucial nutrients for optimal health. Consisting of chains of amino acids, proteins are responsible for repairing your tissues, building muscle, powering your metabolism, providing energy, carrying nutrients to your cells, and more. 

How much protein you need depends on a variety of factors including your activity levels, age, and general health, but studies show that over 50% of Canadians struggle to get enough protein in their diet. 

That’s a health crisis in the making. Not getting enough of this key nutrient can put you at risk of serious ailments and chronic health issues. Some obvious symptoms of protein deficiency include:

  • Lack of energy/increased fatigue

  • Frequently getting sick with viruses and/or infections

  • Loss of muscle mass

  • Weight gain

If you’re experiencing any of the above, consider what’s on your plate. Are you getting enough healthy proteins? How often do you eat wholefoods such as meat, eggs, cheese, pulses, nuts, and grains?

High protein meals for weight loss

One of the most reliable ways to lose weight is to cut carbs and increase protein. Why? Because protein helps convert your calories into muscle, rather than storing them in the form of fat. There’s a reason athletes make protein a central part of their nutrition plans, it helps them build muscle and become leaner.

Protein also has a highly satiating effect - meaning that it keeps you fuller for longer. When you eat a protein-dense meal, your body produces a hormone called peptide YY. This hormone reduces hunger, so you won’t be as tempted to snack between meals or binge. In one study, peptide YY reduced overall food intake by a third in both obese people and those within a normal weight range.

None of us follow a perfect diet. Unhealthy habits creep in but if you can’t stop reaching for snacks, protein is your secret weapon. It’ll reduce that temptation to eat between meals and help you say goodbye to cravings once and for all.

What to expect from the high protein eating plan

The High Protein Eating Plan is a comprehensive four week meal planning template that gives you everything you need to shop, prepare, and cook delicious, healthy meals. 

Boredom is one of the most common reasons diets fail. Eating the same thing, day after day and week after week, might tick all the nutritional boxes but it’s not going to help your motivation or generate long-term results. I’ve included over 100 high protein recipes in my plan so you can switch things up and enjoy plenty of variety with your meals. 

Every recipe is geared towards providing an optimal amount of high quality proteins such as lean meats, hearty grains, fresh vegetables, satisfying nuts and pulses, and more. I’ve also made these suitable for those with food allergies or intolerances, with gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian options. 

These high protein recipes are suitable for cooks of all abilities. If you’re a complete beginner in the kitchen, don’t worry. I make it easy with detailed, easy to follow, instructions. Grocery lists are also included so you know exactly what you’ll need at the store and don’t have to waste time tracking down ingredients.
