Pancakes can be a healthy meal option as you can tailor them to have more or less
protein depending on how many eggs are used, adding protein powder or using flours

Macaroni and cheese packs 7g of protein per 100g serving. Rhiannon recommends
switching it up using chickpea, lentil or pea pasta to add even more protein. Coinciden-

too? Just hold the fries…
