Healthy Ground Turkey Greek Bowl Recipe for Weight Loss

How Much Protein Should You Eat for Weight Loss?

If you are trying to lose weight, you’ll ideally want to eat about 1g of protein per pound you weigh. But, if you have a BMI of over 30 or a body fat percentage above 25-30% you should base your protein recommendations off of your goal weight.

Protein helps preserve lean body mass during periods of caloric restriction and also helps you stay full longer, so you don’t feel as hungry.

This ground turkey bowl recipe fits right in to that with 59 grams of protein for 513 calories.

Packing it up for meal prep

Because there are wet and dry ingredients, you’ll want to separate them so your meals don’t get soggy.

I keep the sauce in a silicone cupcake liner.

Then when you’re ready to eat you can mix it all up. It will last in your fridge for four days.
