FORTY OVER FORTY RECIPE BOOKS
Protein becomes increasingly important as we get older, helping to support muscle mass, appetite regulation, energy, recovery and long-term metabolic health. But knowing you need more protein and knowing how to actually get enough of it are two very different things.
That’s where Forty Over Forty comes in.
Our Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner recipe books are designed to make eating enough protein simple, delicious and achievable in real life. Every recipe delivers at least 40 grams of protein, with an excellent protein-to-energy ratio to help you hit your protein targets without unnecessarily blowing out your calorie budget.
These aren’t meals built around endless protein shakes, dry chicken breasts or complicated ingredients. They’re real food, practical recipes and smart protein-boosting tricks that you’ll actually want to eat.
Every recipe has been analysed in Cronometer, so the calculations are done for you, with full macronutrient and micronutrient information available if you have Cronometer Gold.
Whether your goal is to maintain or build muscle, lose weight, improve your nutrition or simply feel better, Forty Over Forty takes the guesswork out of putting together high-protein meals across your day.

BREAKFAST
Start your day strong.
What you eat in the morning can set the scene for the rest of your day. A substantial, protein-rich breakfast can help keep you satisfied, support steady energy and make hitting your overall daily protein target much easier.
Forty Over Forty: Breakfast gives you over 40 delicious ways to get there, without spending hours in the kitchen or blowing out your calorie budget.
From savoury breakfasts to sweet options, quick weekday meals and recipes for slower mornings, there’s plenty of variety to take you well beyond the usual eggs and shakes.
Take the guesswork out of breakfast and start your day with 40 grams of protein on your plate.
LUNCH
Fuel your afternoon.
Lunch can easily become the forgotten meal — something grabbed between meetings, eaten on the run or skipped altogether.
But a lunch that doesn’t satisfy you can quickly turn into an afternoon energy slump, cravings and arriving at dinner absolutely starving.
Forty Over Forty: Lunch is packed with over 40 substantial, protein-rich lunches designed to keep you satisfied and make getting enough protein in the middle of the day easy.
Think vibrant bowls, wraps, clever remakes of classic favourites and PSMF options, along with bulk protein prep and dressing ideas to make weekday lunches easier. We’ve also included higher-carb and higher-calorie options for more active lifestyles.
These are lunches that work for meal prep, busy workdays and days when you have a little more time.
Feel full. Stay focused. Take control of your afternoon.
DINNER
Getting enough across the day matters, and dinner is where a lot of it comes together. It’s often the meal where you have the most time to cook, the meal you share with the people you live with, and the one that sets you up for how the evening goes: whether you’re satisfied, or raiding the pantry at 9pm.
The trouble for most people isn’t a lack of knowledge. It’s a lack of know-how.
By the end of the day, you’re tired, the decision fatigue is real, and a chicken breast with some steamed veg just doesn’t cut it (and nobody else at the table wants it either). You need something substantial, easy to make, genuinely delicious, and that the whole household will eat without blowing out your calorie budget.
BONUS PAGES
Each book includes useful bonus resources to help put what you’ve learned into practice, including a printable meal planner and shopping list, plus a guide to relevant Mikkipedia Podcast episodes where you can hear more in-depth discussions of the concepts covered in the books.
