High protein
Protein-forward and muscle-sparing, with added fats trimmed back.
Our macro split (share of calories)
- 38%
- Protein
- 25%
- Fat
- 37%
- Carbs
We lock Protein so the engine holds that target while it adjusts the rest.
What it is
High-protein eating prioritizes protein for maintaining and building muscle, for staying full between meals, and for the higher energy cost of digesting protein compared with fat or carbs.
It is a common choice for anyone training, losing weight while trying to keep muscle, or simply wanting meals that keep them satisfied.
How Salt & Temper interprets it
High protein reshapes your recipe to roughly 38 percent protein, 25 percent fat, and 37 percent carbohydrates, at your recipe's current calorie level.
We anchor protein so the engine holds your protein target while it adjusts fat and carbs around it.
How we re-engineer your recipe
We favor lean proteins such as chicken breast, egg whites, nonfat Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, white fish, lean beef, or lentils.
We trim added fats and oils so the protein share rises without piling on calories.
Good to know
- Carbohydrates stay in the picture here, unlike the keto options, which makes this friendlier around training and everyday energy.
- Spreading protein across your meals tends to work better than loading it all into one.
