Description
If you choose to order a High Protein Box, our promise is as follows:
- Our High Protein meals contain ≥50 g protein.
- How we set our standard for protein in grams: Average caloric needs are 2000 calories a day and Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution for protein is 10-35% of total daily calories.1 Recent high protein diet review studies covering cardiovascular health, weight loss and maintenance, muscle mass, and wound healing define high protein as up to 30% of total caloric intake, 1.2-1.6 g /kg/day (or more), and 25-70 grams per meal.1–8 We also took into consideration the body’s metabolic response to protein intake. The human body uses the amino acids in protein foods and the amino acids from the normal recycling of body proteins to make body proteins (e.g., muscle, antibodies for the immune system, digestive enzymes, hormones, neurotransmitters, eye proteins, hair proteins, and many more.)9 Our bodies then take excess protein from the foods we eat to burn as fuel if we need fuel, store as fuel for later if our stores are not full, and/or excrete it in urine, feces, sweat, and mucus from the nose, breath, and semen.10 We can also convert excess protein from food into body fat.10
Our protein standard calculation: Thirty percent of an average 2000 calorie diet is 600 calories. Dividing 600 calories by 4 calories per gram for protein gives us 150 g and dividing 150 g by 3 meals a day we get 50 grams protein per meal.
- One box contains : 5x high proteins cooked meats (Chicken, Beef, Fish, Pork …). Each meats is between 50g and 70g of protein, you can choose the meats of your choice
- Every week, the recipes will be different. (CHECK OUT OUR MENU)
- Recipes are world-wide based recipes.
- Our meals are never frozen and will be shipped fresh.
- Our food is 100% homemade, made in our kitchens, with the best ingredients
