Dateline: October…. I’m going to do my duty today to help you avoid the candy dish and other Halloween temptations this month by giving you 8 delicious healthy alternatives, suitable for the season. Best part: they’re all high in protein too, so they fit perfectly into the Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle lifestyle!
This chick pea and bell pepper salad is perfect for a hot summer day or night. It's delicious, has a great crunch and is packed with nutrients including 13 grams of fiber. Served by itself, it's vegan, or try serving it with a lemon-pepper chicken breast on the side, or tuna mixed in for the lean protein to make it a complete high protein meal. Takes just 10 minutes to make! Serve it right up, or put it in the fridge and serve it chilled later
3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Shredded Salsa Chicken Everyone should have a handful of recipes that use few ingredients (preferably already in the house), and that require virtually no prep time and no cooking skill. Slow cooker shredded salsa chicken is one of the best. It doesn't get much simpler or easier than this. Toss three ingredients in your slow cooker, set it, forget it, and in less than four hours you have a spicy high-protein meal, ready to go.
What a treat this strawberry protein ice cream is on a hot summer's night! What a treat this is any time and any season, for that matter! If you're looking for a healthier alternative to high-fat, high-sugar ice-cream, you've come to the right place. This recipe has almost no fat, no added sugar, only 210 calories and nearly 30 grams of high-quality protein!
Could there be anything more convenient than spending 5 minutes at night making your breakfast, sticking it in the refrigerator, then waking up the next day and your morning meal is done, ready and waiting for you? Well, maybe if someone else makes it for you, lol. But seriously, I think the only thing better in the early morning is when your overnight oatmeal is caffeinated!
With only one minute of prep time, two minutes of cooking time and only a few minutes of eating time, this high protein applesauce cinnamon oatmeal is about as fast, easy and convenient as it gets. Old-fashioned oatmeal (the kind with no added sugar), is one of the best sources of natural starchy carbs for fitness and muscle enthusiasts. Packing 31 (1 scoop) or even up to 46 grams (1.5 scoops) of protein, there is a reason this meal is one that I've been eating every morning for years.
Sweet potatoes are incredibly nutritious and are one of the most popular starchy carb choices on fat loss, bodybuilding, and fitness diets. I would rank them among the top five starchy carbs. Most people think of sweet potato as the carb source for a dinner, along with a protein and vegetable. But wait until you try these sweet potato protein pancakes for breakfast! Amazing!
Black eyed peas with rice, onions, celery, bell pepper, pork, and creole seasoning makes a classic Southern recipe also known as "Hoppin John." In the South, it's a tradition to eat Hoppin John on New Year's Day to bring you good luck in the year ahead. The traditional recipe uses smoked ham, sausage, or bacon. Our Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle Hoppin John is made with lean pork tenderloin and large portions of veggies, making it ultra-healthy. Perfect macros for burning fat. Great for meal prep too!
The combination of sazon with smoked paprika in this stew creates an incredible flavor that's bold and yet not overly spicy. You get a healthy dose of veggies from crushed tomatoes, onion and green pepper, and the potatoes make it hearty and filling. To keep it traditional, add Spanish stuffed olives. This is belly-warming comfort food at its best. Hard to believe it has 44g of protein and only 443 calories... and it's so filling, you may find yourself satisfied with a smaller portion of 350 calories
Is teriyaki chicken stir fry healthy? Is it something you should eat in a fat loss meal plan? Can it help you build muscle? Well, it depends on how you make it. That includes what kind of sauce you use, how lean the meat is (and how much you use), and especially how much oil you use. Switch from restaurant and take out Chinese and make it the Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle way (complete recipe in this post) and watch your fat losses and muscle gains accelerate right before your eyes...
