High Protein Sweet Almond Oatmeal with Lemon Curd and Coconut
High Protein Sweet Almond Oatmeal with Lemon Curd and Coconut

The tastiest way to get 27 g of protein in at breakfast (making your weight-loss or weight-maintenance journey easy-breezy). The crunchy sliced almonds and flaked coconut topping are the perfect rich accompaniment to an incredibly zingy and sweet swirl of lemon curd. The oatmeal itself is only lightly sweetened, but creamy and fluffy from the milk and egg whites. Without a hint of chalky protein powder, it’s a filling breakfast that makes you feel like you’re sitting under a palm tree in the sun.

Black-Pepper Honey Shrimp with Asparagus - Balanced Macros
Black-Pepper Honey Shrimp with Asparagus - Balanced Macros

This really reminds me of a Chinese-American (well let's face it, VERY American) takeout meal, because of the black-pepper honey sauce that drenches everything. It’s the most perfect balance of black-pepper sharpness, earthiness from the turmeric, and sweet/salty goodness from the mix of honey and kosher salt. I’m drooling right now thinking about it. Plus, it's got a beautifully even macro-nutrient breakdown. Enjoy!

Sausage and Cabbage Skillet: A 10-Minute Healthy Lunch to Keep Weight Loss Simple

In my 100 lb weight loss journey, the biggest challenge wasn’t micromanaging my diet—it was simply having something quick and tasty to eat at home.

Over time, I started to realize that having a few easy ingredients, like these sausages, made it easier to stick to my healthy plans. Using somewhat-processed items like pre-cooked chicken sausage, flavor-packed condiments, salad kits, and frozen veggies was instrumental to my 100 lb weight loss journey, significantly improving my blood markers in the process.
