While eating healthy is key to keeping in good shape, not every nutritious snack is enough to get you through the day. Here are some high-protein meals that will fill you up and help you avoid hunger.

Tuna Burgers

If you love burgers and don’t mind trying something different, this tuna burger is sure to hit the spot. In addition to some seared tuna, you’ll need to add some creamy mayo sauce and crunchy iceberg lettuce.

Sweet Chili Salmon

Consider baking a thick piece of salmon and drizzle it with chili sauce and sesame oil. This sweet and spicy dish takes just 10 minutes to prepare while looking gourmet.

Turkey Sloppy Joe

When you think of healthy foods, vegetables are often top of the list. But not all vegetables are created equally and most people aren’t eating enough leafy greens. These vegetables are packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber and can offer numerous health benefits. Here are some leafy greens to eat every day.

Kale

Kale is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Vitamins K, A, and C are highly prevalent in kale and it contains lutein and beta-carotene which can reduce the risk of diseases. It is best consumed raw, as cooking it can reduce the nutrient value, so add it to your lunchtime salad and enjoy the benefits.

Collard Greens

Collard greens are a loose leaf green, with a slightly bitter taste, so they’re best served cooked with some flavor. They are a great source of calcium and vitamins A, B9 (folate), and C and one of the best sources of vitamin K, which can reduce blood clotting.

Spinach

Spinach is a common leafy green used in salads, frittatas, on top of pizza, and for smoothies. One cup of raw spinach provides you with 181% of your daily value of vitamin K. It’s also packed with folate which helps with red blood cell production and is needed for women when they are pregnant.

Arugula

This leafy green, otherwise known as rocket, has a slightly peppery taste and is often used in salads or added as a garnish on top of a sandwich. It is one of the best sources of dietary nitrates, which helps to increase blood flow and reduce blood pressure.

Gone are the days of good or bad foods, a list of restrictions, and low-fat or low-calorie diets. If you want to upgrade your diet so it’s healthier and balanced, the best way to do this is to start including more variety of whole foods in your meals.

Crowd Out

You don’t need to overcomplicate it—you want to find a way that your diet fits easily into your life, without overthinking it. Restricting the foods that you love will only end in failure, but filling up on nutritious and delicious foods and crowding out the fried or sweet foods will help you in the long run.

Do not list foods as good or bad as this will increase your want for the so-called ‘bad foods,’ while making you resent or get bored by the ‘good foods’.

Small Changes

Start making small changes each week that are consistent and sustainable. Make a weekly goal and start adding to that every week. Your first goal could be to cook more at home, then add more vegetables to your plate. You could start trying out different whole grains or proteins and eating fruits you have avoided for a while.

Schedule

Have a day each week you do your grocery shopping and meal prep. You can make some whole grains and protein dishes for the week and cut up your veggies to go in salads or roasted in the oven. It will stop you from ordering in or obsessing about foods you ‘can’t’ eat. You want to always make sure you are organized and you don’t need to worry about your meals.

Meal prepping helps you structure your meals and snacks while making sure you reach your macronutrient and calorie goals, but eating the same meals all the time can take away the excitement from food and it may lead you to eat comfort foods. But, meal prep doesn’t have to be boring and you don’t have to eat the same foods over and over again. With these tips and a bit of creativity, you can make meal prep more enjoyable.

Try New Protein Sources

Have you been eating a lot of chicken breast and hard-boiled eggs? It’s time to try new proteins like shrimp, beef, lamb, salmon, and tuna. Try mixing in some plant-based proteins like chickpeas, black beans, and lentils.

Sauces

Add more flavor to your dishes with some store-bought or homemade sauces. Chimichurri sauce, Greek yogurt, tahini, Green Goddess dressings, peanut sauces, and pestos are all great choices.

New Cuisines

Instead of ordering takeaway, change the type of cuisine you’re cooking every week. Start trying Mexican, Korean, Italian, Greek, Thai, Japanese, and Chinese-inspired recipes. Experiment with spices and herbs for more flavor.

Meal prepping can seem like more trouble than it’s worth—you have to take time out of your relaxing weekend to food shop and prep for the week ahead. The other alternative isn’t much better—coming home from work and food shopping when you’re hungry and cooking after a long day at the office. Meal prepping is actually a fantastic solution to those who don’t want to food shop and cook everyday. You cook for a few hours on your weekend or one evening during the week for the meals ahead. Then you divide the food into containers that you can heat up when you want to a meal.

Purchase Containers

Before you start you want to make sure you have enough reusable food storage containers to keep your prepared food fresh and tasty.

Choose a Meal to Prep

If you generally skip dinner due to laziness or eat out most nights then this is probably the best meal for you to prep for. You won’t have to think about what you want to eat as it will be in your fridge ready for you to heat up and enjoy. Choose a day to do the cooking and decide how many meals you are making. Some people don’t like to eat the same meal for five days.

Choose Foods that are Good for Meal prep

Frozen vegetables are really great to add to your prep dishes, they taste the same and are as healthy as fresh vegetables. So start with a selection of frozen vegetables for your dish. Starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes and parsnips are also delicious and they add some healthy carbs. Whole grains, pulses, and lean protein are all great foods to cook and eat throughout the week.

Prep Your Snacks

If you find yourself feeling hungry in the middle of the day, make sure you have healthy prepared snacks available so you don’t eat the chocolate bar.
