Leftover roast<\/p>\n

\u201cArguably, the greatest culinary contribution Britain has given the world is the Sunday roast. It\u2019s good in soup form on Monday, too. Take your leftover chicken and cabbage. Add canned tomatoes. Pour in chicken stock, then throw in onion, celery, and carrot if you\u2019re feeling extravagant. Add garlic, a few herbs, and let everything become acquainted in a stockpot. Add beans for extra protein and fiber, and you\u2019re good to go.\u201d \u2014Chef Bodean Hammett<\/a><\/p>\n

A\u00e7a\u00ed bowl<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a gruelling long run, I discovered SunLife Organics\u2019 a\u00e7a\u00ed bowl, a total game-changer. Packed with about 80 grams of protein thanks to their Noble protein blend (a powerhouse of beef organ goodness), it\u2019s topped with mango, goji berries, coconut, peanut butter, and granola. It refuels me fully so I\u2019m ready to hit my next workout strong.\u201d \u2014Ultrarunner Matt Johnson<\/a><\/p>\n

The big scramble<\/p>\n

\u201cI scramble nine eggs with greens, mushrooms, cheese, and smoked sausage, then pair it with a bagel for carbs. It\u2019s quick to make, easy to scale up or down (I like to add grits), and fuels long days of training, coaching, and teaching.\u201d \u2014Kenny Selmon<\/a>, senior instructor, Barry\u2019s Bootcamp, and a former Track & Field Olympian at Tokyo 2020<\/p>\n

Shake and muesli combo<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to high-protein meals my favorite is a Rise311 vanilla protein shake. Each serving delivers 30 grams of protein, blended with my milk of choice, a whole banana, and a generous spoon of nut butter. I start most mornings with it before moving on to a whole-food muesli, using it as a fast, effective foundation for the day. I\u2019ll rotate nut butters or milk substitutes, but the core ritual stays the same.\u201d \u2014Jason Walsh<\/a>, celebrity personal trainer to Bradley Cooper and Miles Teller<\/p>\n
