High-protein meal recipes: 15 g of protein or more per serving
Recipes with at least 15 g of protein per serving and 6 g per 100 kcal, the rule behind the “high protein” label. They help if you want to spread protein across the day, protect your muscle, or eat smaller amounts without falling short. They are sorted from most to least protein per serving.
The numbers on each card are per serving and are not eyeballed: they add up the per-100 g values of each ingredient in the food database, which come from USDA FoodData Central. If you take a GLP-1 medication and fill up fast, start each plate with the protein and leave the sides for last.
