Want to lose a few extra pounds? Well, try to create a positive change in your lifestyle with a protein-rich healthy meal at the start of the day.

The concept of a healthy meal is often misunderstood. People mostly think that eating healthy means salads filled with green veggies or fruits. Healthy food is considered to be plain, boring, and unappealing.
