high protein meals

Hi guys! Today I’m sharing some of the meals I’ve been eating to get ready for summer. I’ve broken them down as breakfast lunch & dinner, but I don’t always eat them that way sometimes I have 2 breakfasts (ex: breakfast tacos & a protein cereal + yogurt parfait for lunch). I haven’t been focusing on exact macros more just high protein. I try to keep lower carbs & fat, but I’m not being so strict that I have no energy & I have a hard time recovering from workouts. I think it’s so important to listen to your body because I’ve found that’s the ONLY way anything is maintainable. I am not super restrictive with certain things normally as long as I’ve got my protein in for the day because that’s what works for me. Don’t be afraid to try different things & make adjustments as you see fit! Just because one thing works for someone doesn’t mean it will work for everyone! You don’t have to be extreme you just have to be consistent.
