29 Best High Protein Recipes

The secret to maintaining a healthy lifestyle is following a diet rich in protein. Protein has many benefits for your body, such as building and repairing muscles, strengthening hair and nails, and aiding in weight loss. The moment it leaves your fork, protein starts waning your waistline. High-protein foods require more work to digest, metabolize, and use, which means you burn more calories processing them. They also take longer to leave your stomach, so you feel full sooner and for a longer amount of time. Therefore, consuming high-protein foods is one of the best things you can do if you are watching your weight. You will be less likely to snack during the day and your metabolism will be faster so you can burn off the occasional cookie, no problem. It really is not difficult to eat a protein-rich diet. Protein comes from a variety of different sources including meat, milk, beans, and nuts. There are so many tasty options when it comes to high protein meals. Foods like cake and pasta become healthy when made with protein-packed ingredients. From breakfasts to entrees to desserts, we have gathered our 29 Best High Protein Recipes for you to enjoy.
