It sounds like you’ve been very consistent with your meal planning and protein focus, and that kind of routine is usually what drives the biggest changes over time.
One thing to keep in mind, especially with high-protein, low-point or low-calorie styles of eating, is making sure your body is still getting enough overall energy, healthy fats, and micronutrients—not just protein. That balance helps with things like training performance, recovery, and keeping energy stable throughout the day.
If your goal is muscle support and appetite control, meals like the bisque you mentioned (or cabbage soup, etc.) can work well when they’re paired thoughtfully—for example:
- adding a solid protein anchor (shrimp, crab, chicken, beans, Greek yogurt on the side)
- including some fiber-rich carbs or vegetables for fullness
- and not letting fats drop too low (they matter for hormones and satiety)
Also, if weight change has been fairly fast, it can be worth checking that you’re still feeling strong, sleeping well, and not dealing with constant fatigue or cravings—those are usually signs the intake might be too tight.
If you want, I can help you build a high-protein weekly meal plan that keeps meals like soups and bisques in rotation but makes sure everything stays balanced and sustainable for training and daily energy.
