220. High Protein - Is It Worth the Hype? | EP#220 In episode 220, Allison Schaaf, founder of Prep Dish, talks about the popularity of healthy high protein recipes and shares why she thinks they're worthy of their moment. Earlier this year, Prep Dish featured a special bonus high protein recipes menu that went out to all subscribers, and those were a huge hit with the meal prep community. Behind the scenes, our food editing team reviewed the Prep Dish meal plans to confirm that most meals do reach the optimum 30 grams of protein mark to ensure those counting macros could find meal plans that support their health goals. Prep Dish is excited to announce we're launching an educational protein workshop that digs into reasons why increasing protein at meals can be beneficial, help you to discover why high protein can support your health goals, and provide creative, tasty protein recipes that you can make in your own kitchen. The protein workshop begins by finding out the “why” behind increasing protein and will guide you to discover your personal motivation: whether it's to keep up with the kids or grandkids, aid in intense workout recovery, or to reach a healthy weight so you can enjoy your favorite hobbies, the aim is to bring motivation front and center. Then comes the fun part of discovering a carefully-curated menu of irresistible, easy recipes that reach the optimum protein mark per serving. The Protein Workshop begins Saturday, May 4, 2024. Premium Prep Dish subscribers get free access to the Protein Workshop after opting-in from their accounts. Now is a great time to upgrade and gain free access! Listeners who aren't current subscribers can get a $10 discount on the workshop with code JOINMPM.

In episode 207, Prep Dish founder Allison Schaaf shares several of her easy high protein lunch ideas to wrap up the January Meal Prep Monday protein series. These suggestions offer some simple streamlined approaches to achieving your protein health goals and keeping you satiated through your afternoon. Allison's approach to lunch focuses on a solid protein base and working around the base for sides and meal accompaniments. This often means setting aside some protein from the night before, usually doubled in the previous night's recipe to have the next day as leftovers. The optimum amount of protein per meal, at least 30 grams, can look like 4 oz of chicken (31g), 4 oz of salmon (23g, plus more when paired with quinoa and veggies), a baked potato with cottage cheese, a can of tuna fish (42g), a 4 oz pork chop (27g, plus more when paired with veggies), or ¾ cup of shredded meat served several ways throughout the week. Allison suggests several easy ways to serve these ideas up and enjoy during your mid-day meal.

In episode 205, Prep Dish founder Allison Schaaf talks with Registered Dietitian Laura Ligos from The Sassy Dietitian and discusses important health metrics to track other than weight for optimum well-being. Laura has been a practicing Registered Dietitian for over ten years and notes that becoming a mother has evolved the approach she takes in her work. She believes going over metrics for health other than weight is quite important to gain a picture of overall well-being and has discovered that though weight is often the outcome, the goal itself should be health. Other important metrics to measure include sustained energy, improved brain cognitive function, good sleep hygiene, stress, performance, and symptoms (such as headaches and gut issues). The goal is to have a symptom-free life for higher quality health. Laura suggests reverse engineering your food to assist with many of these health metrics, particularly by eating in the morning to increase daily energy levels. She also recommends eating every 3-5 hours and ensuring each meal provides solid sources of protein starting with breakfast. Making a protein your starting point, you can then add color to your plate at breakfast time. Some ideas include a homemade breakfast burrito, quiche, or overnight oats with protein powder. Lifestyle and digestion for each person often determines the approach Laura takes in helping her clients in their goals of eating for optimum health. She often asks clients what they would want life to be like if their weight stayed the same. The answers to this question will decide the approach she takes in assisting her clients with their health goals. If extra protein is part of your health goals this month, Prep Dish has created Super Fast, Protein Boost meal plans that make getting 30g of protein at meals (even breakfast!) both easy and delicious. Go to PrepDish.com/MPM to get 2 weeks of Prep Dish for free, including these Protein Boost meal plans during the month of January!

Laura Ligos is an old friend of mine, a member of my first box Albany CrossFit. I always loved the fact that she was incredibly smart (Cornell Graduate) and knew a ton about nutrition, but never crammed it down anyone's throat. In this episode we will talk about her views of Flexible Eating, why it's tough to be a Registered Dietician not playing by the books, and how you can use Inside Tracker to better understand what foods, micro-nutrients, and other tweaks you can make to your lifestyle to better improve how you look, feel, and perform. Speaking of Inside Tracker, use the code FLEXIBLENATION and get 10% off your order. I learned so much about my lifestyle and nutrition choices when I opted for their Ultimate Plan, definitely worth it! This podcast is brought to you by Take Eating Back!
