Meal prep that actually tastes good

Published 4 months ago • 1 min read

Hey there,

You don’t have to settle for bland meals when you’re dieting.

I’ve been in a cutting phase for the past 19 weeks. Even with lower calories, I won’t give up flavor or balance to hit my goals.

Here are some of my go-to meal prep recipes that keep me full, satisfied, and on track:

  1. ​Strawberry Banana PB2 Smoothie: 483 calories, 44 g protein, 64 g carbs, 7 g fat, 10 g fiber
  2. ​The Perfect Breakfast Bacon and Egg Sandwich: 438 calories, 49 g protein, 35 g carbs, 15 g fat, 9 g fiber
  3. ​Healthy Hamburger Helper: 475 calories, 54 g protein, 48 g carbs, 9 g fat, 7 g fiber
  4. ​Crockpot Cowboy Casserole: 542 calories, 43 g protein, 57 g carbs, 16 g fat, 12 g fiber
  5. ​Lemon Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, And Gravy With Green Beans: 400 calories, 33 g protein, 45 g carbs, 11 g fat, 8 g fiber
  6. ​Sweet potato chili: 538 calories, 42 g protein, 55 g carbs, 18 g fat, 16 g fiber

You’ll see a common theme in these recipes. Each is high in protein, packed with fiber, and lands around 400–600 calories. This combo keeps me full, steady with energy, and still on track with my calorie goals.

Give these a try in your next meal prep. You’ll see how easy it is to hit your goals without sacrificing flavor.

In good health,

Noah RDN

Hey, Most people think dietitians eat perfectly. We don’t. But we do follow systems that make nutrition simple and consistent. Here are 7 food rules I actually follow: Eat regularly. Start the day with a high-protein, high-fiber breakfast. It sets the tone for better choices later. Hit 20–30 g of protein per meal. I aim for 3–4 balanced meals instead of focusing on a total daily target. Stay organized. I spend about an hour each week planning meals and shopping, then batch-cook twice a week....

Most people who lose weight gain it back. Research shows 80% regain within a year, and over 95% within three. But a small group keeps it off. I studied what they do differently.

Hey, After 21 weeks in a calorie deficit, I can tell you one thing, dieting is tough. You’re not only dealing with hunger, you’re fighting a food environment loaded with fast food, sugary drinks, and CRUMBL cookies. Even with all that, I’ve lost about 17 pounds and just over 10% body fat. It hasn’t been perfect. I’ve been hungry, had low energy, faced birthday parties, and been tempted by plenty of food. But a few tools helped me make progress: Meal planning and prepping Every Sunday I’d...
