Meatloaf ⁣
⁣
I've always loved good meatloaf! Perfect for meal prep to have on hand for the week 🙌🏼⁣
⁣
Swapped out some traditionally used ingredients for higher-quality options and the taste was still on point. ⁣
⁣
Protein rich meals like this are a staple in my diet for a number of reasons. ⁣
⁣
Adequate intake of high-quality protein has been shown to boost your metabolic rate - making it easier to burn fat, build lean muscle, and maintain a healthy weight. ⁣
⁣
It's also the most satiating macronutrient so it will keep you fuller for longer. Plus, high-quality animal protein is among the most nutrient-dense foods you can eat (especially organ meats) ⁣
⁣
As with anything - you can over do it with protein and there is a sweet spot. ⁣
⁣
The ideal amount varies based on your age, gender, activity level, body composition, and other factors. ⁣
⁣
A general good rule of thumb is .6 -.8 grams per pound of bodyweight.⁣
⁣
This is a large range since your needs will vary greatly based on the factors mentioned above which is why it's a very good idea to work with a qualified health practitioner when dialing in the optimal nutrition practices for you personally. ⁣
⁣
Feel free to send me a DM if you feel lost and confused about which changes to make when it comes to your health and nutrition. I'd love to help you out. ⁣
⁣
