The No. 1 nutrition and food tracking app
launches a new, free nutrition plan to educate consumers on the
power of protein through daily tips, guided grocery lists, and
expertly curated recipes
NEW
YORK, Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- We know that
protein is one of the building blocks of muscle, but it takes more
to maximize those gains in the gym than just eating a piece of
chicken after a workout. To help their members around the world
elevate their nutrition and pump up the protein, MyFitnessPal
is today introducing the Quick Start High Protein Meal Plan.
Now available to members in the MyFitnessPal app, this free
seven-day nutrition plan helps educate consumers on what protein
is, how it benefits the body, strategies for adding more protein to
meals and snacks throughout the day, suggested grocery lists,
recipes, and more.

"When it comes to food and nutrition, protein is definitely
having a moment! It's an essential nutrient that supports muscle
growth and repair, and our overall health," said Melissa Jaeger, RD, LD, Head of Nutrition for
MyFitnessPal. "By tracking your protein intake at meals and snacks,
you can gain a better understanding of how much you're consuming to
ensure you're meeting your body's nutritional needs. The Quick
Start High Protein Plan will not only help you understand why you
should prioritize protein throughout your day, but help you
identify sources of protein and provide recipe inspiration to make
incorporating more protein simple and easy."
Figuring out how to bulk up your diet's protein content may feel
like a monumental task, but a strategy covered in the new Quick
Start High Protein Plan that might help is: meal prepping.
Meal prepping might seem like a chore – and a bit of a no-brainer –
but it can be a game changer when it comes to leading a healthier
lifestyle. Planning ahead, especially when eating a high-protein
diet, can help people save time and money, reduce stress and food
waste, and support weight loss goals.1
Look no further than the MyFitnessPal library of recipes for
help packing in the protein while meal prepping or creating a
one-off plate to eat. Example recipes with 30 grams of protein per
serving include:
- Baked Ziti Casserole
- Pumpkin Spice Protein Smoothie
- Big-Batch Turkey Barley Soup
- Grilled Salmon with Spicy Mango Salsa
- New England-Inspired Shrimp Rolls
