High-protein frozen meals
Ready meals chosen for protein and fiber when there is no time to cook
Supermarket frozen meals picked for a high protein count and decent fiber, kept on hand for the nights when cooking is not going to happen. The point is adherence: a 40-gram-protein meal from the freezer beats a takeaway or a skipped meal for hitting the day's targets, even if a home-cooked plate would be better. People who use them read labels for protein and sodium and treat them as a floor, not the whole diet.

He eats quite a few frozen meals. He picks them for higher protein and fiber. Cooking everything from scratch or hiring a chef is not realistic, he says, and perfection should not be the enemy of good.
