Protein boost: Add a sprinkle of low-fat cheese or a scoop of cottage cheese on the side.


🥣 3. Protein-Packed Sweet Potato Chili

Why it works: A hearty, warming meal that balances complex carbs and lean protein — great for post-workout recovery.

Ingredients

  • Lean ground turkey or plant-based crumbles

Meal Prep Like a Pro

Here’s how to get the most out of your meals:

  • Prep on a day off: Cook grains, chop veggies, and grill proteins in one session.

  • Balance every plate: Aim for lean protein + veggies + smart carbs + healthy fats.
