High Fiber and Protein Dinner Ideas

I’m sure I’m not the only one who has made a New Year’s resolution to drop a few pounds. I joined a weight loss challenge this week, and I’m excited to have some motivation to eat healthier.

I’ve done a few challenges like this in the past and find that I have the most success when I strive to get at least 25 grams of fiber a day and at least 60 grams of protein. These are recipes that are delicious, family-friendly, and loaded with fiber and protein to help me reach my fiber and protein intake goals.

*Whenever I consciously make these changes to my diet and decrease my sugar intake, I see great results. Read more about it here. (Get my list of high-fiber snack, breakfast, and lunch ideas here.)

Fiber and Protein dinners

There are many more meals that I could have added to this list. Making simple changes like eating brown rice or using whole wheat pasta in recipes where you typically use white rice or regular pasta dramatically increases the fiber and protein.

Experiment with some of your family’s favorite meals and add some of these great ones to your dinner rotation. Here’s to a successful drop in poundage!
