🍽️ the “first bite” rule

Here’s a simple way to make your meals more protein-focused:

Decide on your protein before you decide on everything else.

Instead of building a meal around:

:cooked_rice: Rice
:bread: Bread
:spaghetti: Pasta

and then wondering where the protein went…

Start with:

:poultry_leg: Chicken
:egg: Eggs
:glass_of_milk: Greek yoghurt
:cheese_wedge: Paneer
:seedling: Tofu / soy
:fish: Fish

Then build the rest of your meal around it.

This can be particularly useful if your appetite is reduced, because you may want to make the food you do eat as nutritionally useful as possible.

:light_bulb: It doesn’t need to be complicated.

You don’t need a perfect meal plan.

Just ask:

“Where’s my protein?”

before you start eating.

:speech_balloon: YOUR TURN
