Protein-forward bowls
Protein-forward does not have to mean meat-heavy. The goal is to build meals that may support satiety, muscle maintenance, and steady habits.
Flexible protein options
- Omnivore: fish, chicken, eggs, lean beef, turkey, shrimp.
- Pescatarian: fish, shellfish if tolerated, eggs, dairy if tolerated, tofu, beans.
- Vegetarian: tofu, tempeh, edamame, lentils, beans, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs if included.
The bowl formula
Choose one protein, two plants, one smart starch, and one flavorful sauce. Then adjust based on hunger, exercise, sleep, and goals.
Washoku Plus can help users plan vegetarian days, vegetarian weeks, or fully vegetarian plans while keeping protein visible.
