Why We Do What We Do: Fueling Your Body at Its Highest Level
At Master of Meals, we don’t just cook — we engineer nutrition. Every choice we make is rooted in the belief that optimal wellness starts with what you feed your body. Our approach isn’t the easiest from a culinary standpoint, but it is the easiest for your body to break down and absorb. We carefully select each ingredient not just for taste, but for its biological benefit — helping your system receive the vital nutrients it needs to perform, recover, and thrive. It’s not about shortcuts or fads. It’s about real food, real results, and real nourishment that meets you where you are — and takes you where you want to go.
Restaurant-Quality Meats: Why It Matters
We exclusively source our proteins from Newport Meats, a purveyor trusted by some of the nation’s top restaurants. Why? Because quality proteins deliver quality fuel. Tender, well-marbled, ethically sourced meats not only taste better — they contain higher concentrations of essential amino acids, iron, and B vitamins. When food tastes amazing and is beneficial for your body, it’s easier to stay consistent and committed to a nutrient-dense lifestyle. At Master of Meals, you’re not settling for “meal prep.” You’re stepping into chef-driven, performance-focused eating.
The Right Oils Make the Difference
We never cook with cheap, inflammatory seed oils. Instead, we use only extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, and coconut ghee — each rich in heart-healthy fats and known to enhance nutrient absorption, particularly fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. Coconut ghee, a blend of clarified butter and coconut oil, offers a high smoke point and is packed with medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which support energy and metabolic health. These high-quality fats not only nourish your cardiovascular and cellular systems, but also keep your body primed to absorb and utilize nutrients efficiently. It’s a subtle difference that makes a profound impact on how your body feels and functions.
Leafy Greens + Roughage = Gut Health Made Simple
A key pillar of our menu is the strategic inclusion of leafy greens like kale, arugula, and spinach, as well as fiber-rich cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. These ingredients help ensure that your gut is nourished with both soluble and insoluble fiber — aiding in digestion, feeding healthy gut bacteria, and keeping your system moving efficiently. Unlike many mainstream diets that skimp on greens, we design meals that use this roughage intentionally — supporting gut health in a way that’s easy, enjoyable, and deeply effective.
Smart Starches: Rooted in Function
Our potato blends are thoughtfully crafted to preserve maximum nutrient density. We skin and roast red potatoes, retaining their antioxidant-rich skins — the most nutrient-dense part of the vegetable. Then we blend them with cauliflower to reduce glycemic load while maintaining satiety and flavor. This mash is not only satisfying, but optimized to deliver fiber, potassium, and vitamin C, without the post-meal crash of starchy fillers.
The Power of Pickled and Fermented Foods
Fermented and pickled foods play a vital role in our menu—not just for flavor, but for function. Fermented foods are one of the most powerful tools we use to support your gut microbiome. Naturally rich in probiotics, these foods encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria that improve digestion, enhance immune function, and even contribute to mental clarity through the gut-brain connection. By incorporating elements like sauerkraut or miso-based dressings, we help restore digestive balance and improve nutrient absorption, turning each meal into a more potent and efficient form of nourishment. Similarly, pickled vegetables are more than a zesty accent—they're a strategic way to preserve micronutrients and improve digestion. When we pickle using natural vinegars without added sugars or preservatives, we maintain the integrity of the vegetables while supporting your body’s ability to break down proteins and fats. Pickled ingredients also help stimulate stomach acid and digestive enzymes, enhancing your ability to access and utilize nutrients more efficiently. From a crisp pickled onion to a tangy slaw, these ingredients serve as functional fuel—working hard for your body while bringing bold, vibrant flavor to every bite.
At Master of Meals, we believe food should serve your goals — not slow them down. With every bite, we’re working behind the scenes to support your performance, your recovery, your immunity, and your overall vitality. This is biohacking made delicious, and your body will thank you for it.
