Set Your Protein Targets Like a Pro
Most athletes thrive between 1.6–2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily, spaced across four to six meals. That usually means 25–45 grams per meal, adjusted for body size and goals. Share your weight class or event below, and we’ll help fine-tune your target.

Proteins That Perform All Week
Lean chicken, turkey, extra-lean beef, canned tuna and salmon, eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, tofu, tempeh, lentils, and edamame cover every taste and diet. Rotate options to avoid palate fatigue. Comment with your dietary preferences, and we’ll suggest a customized shopping list.
Flavor Without the Sugar Trap
Use citrus, garlic, ginger, herbs, chiles, vinegars, and dry rubs to create bold flavor without heavy sugar or excess oil. Make three quick marinades for the week, then swap across proteins. Share your favorite spice combo, and subscribe for our athlete-tested marinade matrix.
Recipes Built for Strength and Speed
Marinate chicken in orange, ginger, garlic, and soy, then roast alongside broccoli. Cook quinoa with a splash of stock for depth. Portion for 35–45 grams of protein per meal. Tell us how spicy you like it, and we’ll suggest chili heat levels and garnish ideas.
Recipes Built for Strength and Speed
Lean ground turkey simmers with tomatoes, black beans, cumin, smoked paprika, and jalapeño. Batch-friendly, freezer-safe, and perfect over baked potatoes or rice. Aim for a protein-focused bowl after tough sessions. Comment if you prefer thicker or lighter chili, and we’ll tweak liquids and beans.
Recovery Shakes and High-Protein Snacks
Smoothies That Actually Satiate
Blend whey or casein with Greek yogurt, frozen berries, spinach, and oats for sustained energy. Add peanut butter or chia if you need extra calories. Post your blender size or travel needs, and we’ll recommend ratios and packable add-ins for your routine.
No-Cook High-Protein Parfaits
Layer Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, berries, and high-protein granola in jars for grab-and-go power. A drizzle of honey or cinnamon keeps flavor bright. Comment with your sweetness preference, and we’ll suggest swaps to match your macros without sacrificing taste or texture.
Portable Bites for On-the-Go Athletes
Keep jerky, roasted chickpeas, edamame, cheese sticks, and tuna pouches in your bag. Pair with fruit or whole-grain crackers for balanced carbs. Tell us where you train most—gym, track, pool, or trail—and we’ll build a snack kit that survives your environment.
On the Road: Meal Prep for Travel and Competitions
Book rooms with a microwave and mini-fridge. Pack shelf-stable tuna, ready rice cups, oats, protein powder, and collapsible containers. Assemble quick bowls with pre-cut veggies. Comment with your next destination, and we’ll map nearby high-protein grocery stops and simple microwavable ideas.
On the Road: Meal Prep for Travel and Competitions
Scan menus for grilled proteins, egg-based breakfasts, yogurt cups, or bean bowls. Avoid heavy sauces, add extra veggies, and portion carbs for your event. Share your layover length, and we’ll suggest options at major terminals to keep your protein intake on target.
