High Protein
Flavour Profile
Protein isn't gym food.
It's just food.
Every meal doesn't need to look like a bodybuilder's lunchbox, but protein does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to keeping you full, helping recovery and holding onto muscle as you get older.
For Forkin' Cooking, High Protein means protein is a meaningful part of the meal, not a marketing sticker stuck on the front of a packet.
The best protein foods don't need much help.
A well-cooked steak, roast chicken, eggs, fish, yoghurt, beans or lentils already bring plenty to the table.
The trick isn't hiding protein in everything.
The trick is cooking it properly.
Health Benefits

Forkin' Food Theory
Protein isn't the hero.
It's the foundation.
A meal built around a decent protein source tends to satisfy better than one built around refined carbohydrates and wishful thinking.
Build the plate properly and the numbers usually take care of themselves.
