High-protein meal prep starts with a clear protein ingredient in each meal, alongside vegetables and a source of carbohydrate. It does not require powders or removing whole food groups.
Three combinations to prepare
Make a lentil-tomato stew with wholegrain bread; a tofu and vegetable tray bake with brown rice; or a yogurt breakfast pot with oats and fruit. For two tofu portions, cube 300 g tofu, mix with two teaspoons of oil and paprika, and roast with chopped peppers at 200°C until hot and lightly browned, turning during cooking. Product texture and oven time vary.
Calculate protein from your products
Use the label rather than assuming every yogurt or tofu has the same content. If a product contains 12 g protein per 100 g, a 150 g portion supplies 18 g. Add other ingredients separately if you need a meal total. The number is an example, not a daily target.
Keep variety and storage in the plan
Alternate beans, lentils, tofu, eggs, dairy or suitable alternatives, fish and meat according to your preferences. Freeze later-week cooked portions rather than storing a full week in the fridge. A clinician or dietitian should set individual protein goals when kidney disease or another medical condition changes requirements.
Plan components first, then assign meals. Plan eerst componenten en verdeel daarna de maaltijden.
