One of the biggest struggles I see women face is feeling full and energized without overeating. And honestly, the two most underrated tools for that are fiber and protein.
Fiber is a total game-changer. Not only does it help keep your digestion regular, but it also feeds your gut bacteria, helps manage blood sugar, and keeps you fuller way longer than a carb-heavy meal ever will.
Protein is just as important. Think of it as the foundation of your metabolism. It supports your hormones, muscles, recovery, hair, skin, and nails. And when you don’t get enough, your cravings creep in, energy crashes, and your body doesn’t feel safe enough to let go of fat.
That’s why I love making meals that hit at least 30g of protein and 10g of fiber at once. When you nail those two together, you feel steady, satisfied, and not constantly thinking about your next snack.
And let’s be real – food should taste GOOD. No bland chicken-and-rice here. These meals are full of flavor and fun to eat.
Here are 15 easy meals (5 breakfasts, 5 lunches, 5 dinners) that do the trick:

Wrapping it up
You don’t have to live off plain chicken and broccoli to hit your goals. When you pair protein + fiber, you feel full, your energy is steady, and your cravings calm way down.
But I also know this – sometimes we can know exactly what to do and still feel stuck. That’s why I love working 1:1 with women who are tired of trying to figure it out alone.
