veThe orange bar for energy is not an indication that this is not a satiating meal. It is, however, an easy to track visual indicator that despite providing 40 grams of protein, the protein to energy ratio in this meal comes out almost as 1:20, and here at Strength By Fitness we only color the energy bar green when the protein to energy ratio hits 1:11 or better.

This way we are giving you an easy to understand, and powerful indicator that any meal with a green bar provides an astonishing protein to energy ratio.

What does this mean for you?

First of all.

This is an excellent omnivore meal. It provides a balanced nutrient intake, good satiety and it is still decently high in high quality protein from 2 main protein sources.

The orange calories bar indicates that if you are going for this as your daily high-protein choice you might end up with a tiny bit more energy than expected. Not in a problematic way, but higher than a day that consists of only eating meals with a green energy bar.

Using myself as an example, in order to reach 200 grams of protein with this meal I would end up eating more than 3000 calories. Which is perfectly fine for me if I wish to maintain my boy fat percentage since I exercise a lot.

But if I want to cut my body fat percentage I will strictly aim for meals with a higher green colored protein to energy ratio.

Secondly.

The orange colored bar together with the still high satiety score of this meal indicates that it might actually end up being hard to get enough protein because this is still a satiating meal.

I mean, its four whole eggs + plenty of veggies.

That is a lot of satiety in one meal for only 40 grams of protein. So for me to reach 200 grams of protein in one day with this as my only meal choice I would have to consume 5 of these meals. And I am doubtful I could even eat that much in one day.

With that said, eggs are a very good main nutritional pillar and in this meal we have supplemented those 4 eggs with plenty of health friendly whole plant-based micronutrients and whole plant-based carbohydrates.

Ps.

Big time egg lovers, keep in mind that whole eggs do not provide any Vitamin C, so you need to supplement your daily intake of eggs with veggies and fruit rich in Vitamin C.
