Clean eating highlight: Our Favorite High-Protein Dinner Recipes
Protein gives you energy, makes you feel fuller, and helps build bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood. It is a macronutrient, which means that you need a relatively large amount of it per day: about 3 servings (7oz) for men, and two servings (5oz) for women. Protein is essential to a healthy diet, and that’s why we’ve picked out our favorite protein packed recipes to share with you.
