High-protein, blood-sugar-friendly meals built around real numbers — the exact way I eat to stay strong, lean, and steady after 50. Simple ingredients, honest macros, no fads.
Every recipe here is built on the same principle as the rest of Prime Chapter: enough protein to hold muscle, a carb load that keeps blood sugar flat, and ingredients you can actually buy and cook without a culinary degree. Each one lists its calories and protein up front, because the numbers are the point.
