Whether you're looking to improve your performance in the gym, build muscle, or lose fat, eating plenty of protein and a balance of fats and carbs is key.
Protein is particularly important because it aids muscle recovery after workouts, helps you maintain muscle if you're in a calorie deficit for fat loss, and is also satiating so keeps you feeling fuller for longer.
For people who exercise regularly, it's recommended to eat at least 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight (or 0.7 grams per pound), but individual requirements vary.
Chef Chris Baber, who specializes in easy home-cooking recipes, has teamed up with the nutritionists at London-based personalized meal delivery service Fresh Fitness Food to create a selection of dishes that are easy to cook, tasty, and nutritionally balanced.
Baber shared three recipes from the collaboration with Insider, all of which are protein-packed.
