Hey guys! I'm just starting this journey to fitness and I'm on a high protein diet. I'm supposed to break down my meals like this:
60% Fats (166g)
35% Protein (218g)
5% Carbs (30)

I just don't know what kind of meals I could make with this. Anyone have any recipes for meals/snacks? I'd greatly appreciate it.

    if you're doing that low carb, you're going to be looking at a lot of lean meat, eggs, egg whites, nuts, coconut flour instead of white/wheat flour, and lots of dairy.

    Here's one that was a family favorite. My mom always served it over brown rice, but I really like it as a filling for lettuce wraps to keep it carb free.

    Chinese Boiled Chicken

    Ingredients
    1 (3 lb) chicken, cleaned
    2 bunches green onions
    1 tablespoon light soy sauce
    1 tablespoon sesame oil
    2 teaspoons salt
    1/2 cup peanut oil, heated to smoking point

    Directions
    Fill a large kettle with water and bring to a boil. (An 8-quart pot two-thirds filled with water works great for a 2 1/2 to 3-pound bird.)
    When the water boils, place the whole cleaned chicken into it. When the water stops boiling, take the chicken out.
    Cover the pot and when the water again boils, place the chicken back in the pot. Cover the pot and turn off the heat. Leave the chicken in the pot and the pot on the burner. After one hour, the chicken is done. Remove, and cool.
    Debone the chicken and tear the meat into small strips.
    Place them on a large platter.
    Clean the green onions, and split each onion down the middle. Then cut them up into 1/2-inch pieces and place over the mound of chicken.
    Pour the soy sauce and the sesame oil over the chicken.
    Pour the salt over the onions.
    When you are ready to serve, pour the hot peanut oil over onions and chicken.
    Toss like salad and serve.

    @thefewsteps what kind of meals would I make then? I'm just struggling trying to figure out what kind of things I should make myself.

    idk, as i dont eat meat and stay away from dairy! How about chicken with peanut sauce? or chicken with a greek yogurt/ranch type dressing? burgers with lettuce buns or make your own bread with coconut flour?
