Good recipes for high protein low fat?

[Guest guest]

Hi!

 

I'd love to have some of your favorite foods/recipes for high protein low fat I

am weight training right now and my trainer wants me to have 30% protein 20% fat

and 50% carbs in my diet. I am having a hard time finding good protein. I do

take hemp powder and soy milk in a shake. Any other ideas?

 

Thanks!!

LENTIL TACOS

Ingredients

1 cup dried brown lentils, rinsed

8 ounce can tomato sauce (or home made)

corn tortillas (for fun, use a mix of white, yellow and blue)

1 packet dry taco seasoning mix (or make your own with the recipe below)

handful of textured soy protein, optional (I leave this out)

lettuce (shredded)

cucumber (seeded, peeled, sliced)

tomatoes (chopped)

lemon or lime wedges (optional)

Directions

Cover the lentils with water in a large saucepan. They expand tremendously so

use a large pot. Add tomato sauce, textured soy protein, and taco seasoning.

Bring to high heat until boiling. Simmer at low heat until the mixture thickens.

Add more water if necessary

and stir often so that the bottom does not burn. This process will take about an

hour. You want to cook it until it's about the consistency of cooked oatmeal.

Taste the mixture and add more seasonings if necessary. Add more textured soy

protein if you want more texture and continue to heat until the textured soy

protein is fully hydrated. In the meantime, heat the corn tortillas in the oven,

directly on the oven rack for about 5 minutes at 350 degrees.

Assemble the tacos as desired. Squeeze the lemon wedges over the tacos... yum!!

This recipes makes a large quantity and is very flexible with the garnishes.

Experiment by adding chopped avocado, cilantro, onion, etc. I prefer these

without salsa since the taco filling has so much flavor on its own. Enjoy!!

Taco Seasoning:

4.5 tsp. paprika;

1 tsp. cumin powder;

0.5 tsp. oregano;

1 tsp. chili powder;

1 tsp. onion powder;

0.25 tsp. lemon powder (optional, I've never used it);

1 tsp. salt;

1 tsp. sugar;

0.5 tsp. garlic powder;

1 tsp. flour;

0.5 tsp. cocoa powder

Mix all together and store in airtight container. Makes approx. 4 tablespoonful

- the equivalent of 1 package of seasoning
