Prime Chapter Recipes

Real Food for the Second Half

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.

Want the system behind the meals? Start with the free Prime Chapter Trainer for your calorie and protein targets, then use these recipes to hit them.
