two high-protein meal preps for fat loss🍗 (recipes inside)
|
Hey Reader! I wanted to share two things I meal prepped this week that made hitting my protein way easier during a deficit. Here are the recipes in case you're stuck in the ‘what do I eat’ loop. It's high protein, actually delicious, and nothing that feels like “diet food" - because who said fat loss food has to be boring?? 🫓 CHICKEN SHAWARMA I marinate chicken breast overnight in cumin, coriander, cardamom, smoked paprika, cayenne, garlic, lemon — then cook a big batch on the stovetop. Keeps in the fridge for a few days. I pair it with a simple side salad: cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber + light drizzle of olive oil + salt/pepper. Full marinade recipe here → RecipeTin Eats Chicken Shawarma This one went viral for a reason. Ground chicken (or tofu or pork), mushrooms, ginger, garlic, soy sauce — layered between dumpling wrappers and steamed. Topped with chili oil and or a tahini-sesame sauce. I use chicken bone broth to add some soupy-ness while steaming, instead of water. High protein, meal prep friendly, and honestly feels like a treat.

Thursday she eats something off-plan and figures the week is already ruined. Sunday night she tells herself she’ll start fresh tomorrow. She’s been starting fresh every Monday for two years. Person B wakes up on Monday motivated too.By Wednesday, work gets busy. She skips the gym. But instead of...
I want to share a quick story from a 1:1 client, because I see this pattern constantly. She came to me feeling completely stuck. She was eating clean, working out, and the scale hadn't moved in two months. When I looked at her food log, I saw exactly why. Her previous trainer had told her to cut out carbs at dinner and avoid carrots because of "sugar." So she was eating a salmon patty with no bun, sautéed zucchini, and feeling miserable. She wasn't stuck because she wasn't trying hard enough....
Reader, I've got some tea for you... Something happened last week that I’m still thinking about. I applied to be a vendor at a local wellness event. Something I was genuinely excited about — the kind of room full of women who are exactly who I built SZN for. I got rejected. The reason? My messaging was “too focused on fat loss.” I sat with that for a minute. Because on one hand, I get it. The wellness industry right now is in this weird moment where fat loss has become almost a dirty phrase —...
