Eat With Us! Our Go To Health Recipes

Before we go on to discuss some of Andrew and Niki’s go-to recipes, let’s discuss some principles for how the find, make, or purchase these.

Find ways to get as high protein as possible (from natural foods). 2:1 protein to fat is good. This tends to mean, looking for lean beef, chicken, eggs, or Greek yogurt (there are, of course, other options, but these are readily available high protein options).

Seek ways to strip unnecessary fats out of your diet. Think about things that minimize suffering. Some examples include reducing cooking oils, removing or reducing cheese in salads, replacing high fat dairy with lower fat dairy, and using some egg whites with whole eggs.

Eating the same foods consistently is helpful. These meals provide stability. You know how you will feel after them. Unless other big changes have occurred in life, you know how much to cook, it’s easy to know your calories and macros, and you know how full you will feel and for how long.
