Nutrition breakdown
At 700 calories this is a substantial dinner, best when it's carrying a bigger share of your daily total or fuelling a training day. With 52g of protein it clears the 30-gram threshold most nutritionists use for a "high-protein" meal, which is enough to meaningfully blunt hunger and support muscle repair after training. Its macros land in a balanced 30/29/40 protein-carb-fat split, so it works whether you're cutting, maintaining or gaining. That works out to about 7.4g of protein per 100 calories, a quick way to compare how "filling per calorie" one meal is against another.
Why this dinner works
This dinner earns its place because protein is the most satiating macronutrient, so a high-protein meal keeps you full longer on the same calories; and it stays gluten-free without any specialty ingredients. Built around lean steak, potatoes, green beans, olive oil, it's the kind of simple, repeatable meal that makes a healthy diet feel automatic rather than like a project.
Tips & variations
- Prep ahead: double the lean steak and cook once to have two servings ready — batching is the single biggest time-saver for staying consistent.
- Keep it lean: if you're cutting, trim the olive oil to shave calories without touching the protein.
- Season boldly: a squeeze of citrus, fresh herbs or a pinch of chilli lifts the whole dish for zero extra calories.
