Craving for 30g protein in each meal? Check out this recipe book for your daily protein-packed dining experience!

Emma Bardwell, a renowned nutritionist, has recently released her new book, "The 30g Plan." This book focuses on increasing protein, fiber, and plant consumption for weight loss and overall health. One of the tasty and easy recipes from the book is a harissa chickpeas with salmon (or tofu) dish that offers 41g of protein and 12.5g of fiber per portion.

This dish is perfect for those seeking a protein-rich meal in their weight loss journey. The key to weight loss, according to Emma Bardwell, is following the formula of eating 30g of protein at each meal, 30g of fiber per day, and 30+ plants per week.

The harissa chickpeas with salmon (or tofu) dish takes between 45 to 55 minutes to prepare. Here's a breakdown of the ingredients:

1 teaspoon of harissa paste
1 medium white onion
1 medium carrot
1 stick of celery
3 garlic cloves
1 can of chickpeas
400ml of vegetable stock
2-3 tablespoons of nutritional yeast or 50g of parmesan
A small bag of rocket
Your choice of protein: either 2 salmon fillets or 225g smoked firm tofu

For the tofu, cook it for 20 minutes on each side at 200°C (180° fan)/400°F, flipping it halfway through cooking. Cook the salmon fillets for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side until crisp and golden, and cooked through.

The dish also includes adding parmesan (if using) or the final tablespoon of nutritional yeast to the chickpea mixture, which creates a cheesy, fairly thick saucy broth. This dish serves 2 and has a total of 488kcal per portion.

Emma Bardwell also suggests five easy ways to add protein to a meal: protein powder, cooked chicken breast, smoked salmon, eggs whites, and edamame beans. Other sources of fibre include a tablespoon of psyllium husks, sprouted grain bread, and red lentil, yellow pea, edamame, or mung bean pastas.

Fibre is essential for weight loss, as it promotes satiety, reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and some cancers, and promotes bowel movements and feeds good gut bacteria. Protein, on the other hand, is important for weight loss, muscle growth and repair, hormone production, and blood sugar balance.

Emma Bardwell's "The 30g Plan" offers a variety of recipes to help reach daily protein and fiber targets. This harissa chickpeas with salmon (or tofu) dish is just one example of how delicious and easy it can be to incorporate these nutrients into your meals.
