Protein goals look simple on paper, then meetings run late, the fridge is empty, and lunch becomes whatever you can grab in the vicinity. At MealFix, we make high-protein eating easier by preparing fresh meals that fit into busy schedules without reducing every lunch and dinner to plain chicken and broccoli.

Why People Prioritize Protein
Protein contributes to the growth and repair of body tissues and can help make meals feel satisfying. However, everyone’s needs are different. Activity level, age, body size and personal goals can all influence how much protein makes sense for you.
We provide macro information for our meals so you can compare your options before ordering. If you are following targets provided by a dietitian, trainer or healthcare professional, these details can help you choose meals that complement your plan!
How Our Protein Plus Option Works
Our regular entrées are designed as complete meals with protein, vegetables and a carbohydrate. When you want a larger protein portion, you can choose Protein Plus on many of our menu items.
You can also customize the rest of your meal. Depending on the dish, available combinations may include:
- Protein Plus with the regular sides
- Protein Plus – Low Carb, with the starch reduced or replaced by more vegetables
- Protein Plus – Extra Carb, for customers who want additional carbohydrates
This flexibility means someone preparing for a demanding workout doesn’t need to order the same combination as someone who simply wants more protein at lunch.
What Do High-Protein MealFix Options Look Like?
Our high-protein menu goes well beyond basic grilled meat. For breakfast or an on-the-go snack, a recent option is our High-Protein Chipotle Chicken and Cottage Cheese Egg Bites. Made with eggs, lean ground chicken, spinach, bell peppers, mozzarella and cottage cheese, a four-piece serving provides 35 grams of protein.
Many of our rotating entrées can also be ordered as Protein Plus. Our Korean Gochujang Beef with Steamed Jasmine Rice, for example, offers 40 grams of protein in a regular portion, 48 grams in Protein Plus and 50 grams when Protein Plus is paired with extra carbohydrates.
Even comfort-food-inspired dishes can contribute substantial protein. Our Chicken Alfredo Personal Pizza lists 41 grams in its regular portion and 53 grams in Protein Plus.
Because our menu rotates, you may also see popular dishes such as Greek chicken with lemon potatoes, jerk chicken with rice and peas, chicken shawarma, butter chicken or blackened salmon return during different menu cycles.

Match Your Meals to Your Schedule
A training day, rest day and twelve-hour shift may not call for identical meals. Protein Plus with extra carbohydrates may suit one routine, while Protein Plus – Low Carb may work better for another.
Prepared meals are most useful when they cover your predictable trouble spots. You might stock lunches for office days, dinners for evenings after the gym or protein-rich breakfasts for mornings when setting time to cook is not happening.
