Ma…the MEATLOAF! Well her meatloaf probably wasn’t as healthy as my bodybuilding meatloaf recipe! One of the few recipes I could eat every day. Full of flavor, low in fat, and high in protein…you can’t really ask for much more! Delicious.
Tip:
- If you want it spicy throw some sriracha into your meat mix!

Could you post the nutrition info for the turkey version of this recipe too?
It would depend on how lean the ground turkey you’re using is but it would be fairly close to the same values (if using the same leanness in turkey)
Wow, this is pretty solid actually. I didnt have green peppers or parsley on hand but had everything else. Since I also didnt have a clean bread baking pan I put it in a casserole dish and it came out looking like Chicago style Stuffed pizza.
seriously though, Ill be making this so much more often now.
Thanks for this recipe! I doubled the recipe and divided it into portions for an entire week.
Great recipe! Made it today and my family loved it! My husband was surprised after I told him it is a bodybuilding recipe;) This meatloaf is going to be part of my diet for sure 🙂
Thank you Cindy! I’m so happy to hear that your family loved it 🙂

Thank you so much Eric! Much love!
What is the serving size?
D: Just realized you have an error in the recipe: You state TABLESPOONS of Parmesan cheese, but your weight states 15g, which is equivalent to 3 TEASPOONS.
OR…I’m an idiot….just got out of the gym & my blood sugar is low
just the greatest keep it up
Loved it. I ended up using 1 lb of 93% lean turkey and 1 lb 90% lean beef and it turned out fantastic! Boyfriend approved too! Definitely going to be a staple in this house! 🙂
Love it!!!
Healthy and straight to the point. Love it!
