Conclusion: In general, a plate that consists of about a 8oz of protein, and a veggy, cooked without sugar or much oil, is optimum. Try dry rubs, or cajun spices. Whether cooked at home or eaten out, this might be a bit more expensive than the meal delivery. Both chicken and sirloin have about the same protein percentage at around 30%, while fish has a protein percentage a bit lower at 24%. You might have to experiment with a larger portion of the salmon to get the same protein and calories.
