When to make high-protein meals:
There is no good time to make these meals. Every day is a great day to make them, especially on busy weeknights!
These healthy recipes are a great way to make sure you are getting enough protein in the meal! And they save you from running to get fast food.
Are there leftovers?
This will depend on your family size. Most of the recipes listed are made for about 4-5 people. But I will double the recipes if I want to make sure there are leftovers for a healthy lunch or dinner the next day.
Ingredients for low carb meals:
All of these recipes are designed to use everyday ingredients that you might already have or can find easily at your local grocery store.
They are heavy on the lean meats like chicken, ground turkey, ground beef, and then minimal carbs using sweet potatoes, rice, or cauliflower rice, and then spices to flavor everything to perfection.
Tools needed to make recipes:
Then everything is made easily on the stovetop in a large pan or on a sheet pan in the oven.
