High-protein lunches are essential for maintaining energy levels throughout the day. I always plan ahead for the coming week's lunch. This helps me keep lunch thoughtful, healthy and packed with proteins. After eating a high protein lunch, I notice great boost in my energy level and lesser evening snack cravings.
It is also a great way to increase or meet your daily intake for protein. Kids and adults alike should eat recommended serving of protein to maintain muscle. Especially as you age, the need of protein is essential for to maintain muscles.
