How I Structure My Meals Every Day

I focus on balance and variety to make sure my body gets what it needs:

  • Protein: Builds muscle and keeps me full (chicken, turkey, beef, eggs, or tofu).
  • Healthy Fats: Support brain function and hormones (avocado, olive oil, nuts).
  • Carbohydrates: Provide energy for workouts and daily activity (rice, potatoes, whole grains, veggies).
  • Micronutrients: Found in colorful fruits and vegetables that nourish every cell.

Each of the recipes below follows this structure—balanced, satisfying, and simple to make.
