10 Protein Staples I Wish I Knew About During My Weight Loss Journey



If you’re trying to eat high protein without blowing your calories, having the right staples at home makes everything easier.

In this video, I’m sharing 10+ high-protein, low-calorie staples I always keep stocked to help hit protein goals, stay satisfied, and keep meals and snacks simple — especially during weight loss or maintenance.

These are foods I personally use to:
✔ Hit ~120g of protein per day
✔ Build balanced meals and snacks fast
✔ Avoid constant grazing and overeating
✔ Stay consistent without feeling restricted

Whether you’re focused on fat loss, body recomposition, or just eating better, these staples make it much easier to stay on track.

👇 What you’ll see in this video:
• My go-to high-protein fridge, freezer, and pantry staples
• How I use these foods in real life
• Why protein matters for satiety & consistency
