Eat real food that makes you feel good from the inside out! That’s my motto and that’s why I’m sharing with you these delicious protein-packed lunch combinations that won’t leave you feeling like you just ate rabbit food or leave you hangry before you know it. I love this quote from Chris Rocchio – “If you give your body what it wants – protein, healthy fats, dense nutrition, slow-burning carbs, fiber – you won’t crave the junk.” Just a friendly reminder that it’s about eating clean, nutrient dense foods, not necessarily about eating less. You can find ideas like these shared weekly on @Chris.Rocchio_Fit‘s Instagram or my Instagram page @MeowMeix!

Because red meat can be healthy too! @Chris.Rocchio_Fit breaks down how red meat can be healthy for you “1) get it from the right sources, 2) prepare it properly (don’t burn or char), and 3) consume it in moderation. It is an excellent source of B vitamins, especially B12, which is crucial to proper functioning of almost every system of the body. And If you don’t get enough sun or fish, red meat contains a form of vitamin D (really a hormone) that is quickly and easily assimilated into the body.” Here’s what’s in this prep:

NY Strip Steak
Rainbow Quinoa
Sautéed Zucchini
Spinach

Burrito Bowl Combo
