🥗 300+ High-Protein Recipes 📅 Grocery Lists & Meal Plans 🚫Totally Ad-free
Hello friends,
Guess what day it is? That’s right, Thursday… Get ready… new meal plan is about to make its debut.
I always loved Bread Pudding at school (yep, we actually pretty decent food, surprisingly 😀, so creating a healthier version was exciting! Indulging in dessert for breakfast and off-setting sugary cravings? Sounds awesome to me!
I’ve been quite addicted to omelettes recently, so one makes an appearance here – super-quick and super-filling! I’ve had them most mornings for the last week, and they easily keep me full until lunch (which is very important to me). They’re also a really nice way to use up any leftover veggies – just fry up what you need and add at the end!
On to this week’s stats:
- you’ll be getting 64g protein at about 1290kcals (three main meals);
- or 81g of protein at about 1490kcal per day with snacks, this can be even more, if you decide to skip the Chocolate Banana Popsicle snack for another protein shake;
- if you include the big snack, then you’ll be at 101g protein at 2025kcal per day.
If you’re not sure how many calories you should be eating please have a quick read through this page on calories .
Don’t hesitate to give me a shout if you have any questions!
Dave 🙂
PS. don’t forget – further down on this page is a list of which recipes can be made ahead, which can be frozen and some vegan alternatives if you fancy them.
We’re always looking to improve! If there’s something specific you’d like included in our plans or if you have any requests, we’re here to listen and make it happen.

Day 7 is all up to you. It’s a great day for leftovers, or if you want to go out to eat. Buddha Bowls or Burrito Bowls are a great way to use up leftovers. We still recommend keeping the calories to about 1300kcal if weight loss is a priority.
Recipe Tips:
- Protein Powder Oatmeal with Winter Apple: You don’t have to use protein powder in this, but it’s a great way of getting extra protein in. You can also flavour it differently, depending on the type of powder you have.
- Colourful Bulgur Kidney Bean Salad is ideal to take for work.
- Bread Pudding Breakfast is a great recipe to use up old bread!
- Chickpea Pancakes #2 taste best if you make them fresh, one serving each day. You can also re-heat the chickpea pancake, but it loses some flavor.
- Super-Quick High Protein Omelette: Cook over low or medium-low heat to avoid dry or burned omelettes. Serve it immediately. It tastes best when fresh and hot.
- Lentil Tabbouleh goes nicely with hummus and flatbread!
- If you include snacks in the meal plan, make sure you select 5 servings of Chocolate Banana Popsicle for less food waste. Feel free to sub honey for agave or maple syrup. Be sure to use ripe bananas for the best popsicles!
Meal Prep (Quick Tutorial): These recipes can be made ahead.
Generally, we advise to keep them in airtight containers and/or in the fridge. Some of them need to be reheated.

- Low-Carb Spinach and Cheese Pie (it can be eaten hot or cold)
- Bread Pudding Breakfast
- Chickpea Pancakes #2 (either just the batter or the pancakes themselves)
