Enjoy High Protein Ready Meals with Youfoodz

Incorporating high protein food into your diet has never been easier thanks to our selection of high protein ready meals.

What is a high protein diet?

Typically, a high-protein diet consists of a higher proportion of calories derived from protein rich foods, such as lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, legumes, and plant-based options like tofu and tempeh. A high protein diet is often favoured by those who are aiming to build and maintain muscle mass, manage weight, or feel full and satiated throughout the day. While following a high protein diet can offer benefits for certain fitness and weight management goals, it's essential to ensure you follow a balanced approach to nutrition, incorporating a variety of food groups for optimal health and well-being.

According to the NHMRC The Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) for protein for adult men is about 64 grams per day, and the Recommended Dietary Intake (RDI) is approximately 81 grams per day. For women, The EAR for protein is about 46 grams per day, and the RDI is approximately 57 grams per day. These values are set to meet the protein needs of the majority of the population, and can be tailored to the individual depending on factors like age, activity level, and overall health. It's essential to keep in mind that these recommendations are subject to updates by the NHMRC, so it's a good idea to check the latest dietary guidelines for the most current information on recommended protein intake in Australia. Youfoodz offers a delicious range of high-protein meals that you can incorporate into any of our plans and have them delivered straight to your door each week. Eating a high protein diet really couldn’t be easier with our selection of high protein ready meals.

What foods are high in protein?

Protein is mainly found in animal-based foods such as chicken, beef, pork, fish, eggs and cheese, however, it’s possible to get a good source of protein from plants too. Nuts, legumes and grains are particularly high in protein and are packed with other healthy nutrients like fibre and fatty acids. It’s important to include a wide range of high protein foods in your diet to ensure you are getting all of the nutrients you need. Here are some healthy high protein foods you can include in your diet:

Chicken
Salmon
Shrimp
Tuna
Beef
Soy
Tofu
Eggs
Greek Yoghurt
Cottage cheese
Beans
Chickpeas
Oats
Quinoa

Including a variation of these different high protein foods in your diet will help you to live a happy and healthy, balanced lifestyle. If you need a little more help eating a high protein diet, however, we recommend consulting a doctor or dietitian, or trying out some of Youfoodz’s high protein ready meals.
