UFC Ignite takes the guesswork out of meal prep with customized plans built around your goals. Each week, you can choose from 60+ rotating, chef-crafted meals across the Cut, Maintain, and Build meal plans. This means plenty of variety, but also plenty of decisions. Never ordered before? We went straight to our chef team behind the meals to spotlight their three favorites in each plan.
Top Three Cut Plan Meals
The Cut plan is all about satisfaction without excess. Featuring dishes with 25-40g of protein, each meal is thoughtfully portioned with nutrient-dense ingredients to pack in flavor while helping you meet your goals.
#3: Tomatillo Chicken Sausage Skillet
About 25% of Americans skip breakfast, but this chef-favorite skillet might make it your favorite meal of the day. It features fluffy scrambled egg whites, savory chicken sausage crumbles, spinach, and yellow onion over crispy gold potatoes, and is finished with a bright tomatillo sauce and a touch of Monterey Jack cheese. With 27g of protein and just 330 calories, it is a guilt-free dish that will help you power through the morning without feeling like you are running on empty.
#2: BBQ Seasoned Beef with Roasted Potatoes
Love BBQ flavors but do not want the hassle of grilling? BBQ Seasoned Beef with Roasted Potatoes is your solution. The star of the meal is the tender, shredded beef, packed with protein and smothered with a sweet and smoky brown sugar BBQ sauce. Served alongside a savory onion and pepper blend, red kidney beans, and potatoes, it might just become your favorite summer BBQ dish.
#1: Sloppy Joe Bowl
The Sloppy Joe Bowl takes the hearty, nostalgic childhood classic and rebuilds it with considerably more nutritional intention. At its core is pulled beef simmered in a tomato sauce layered with balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, smoked paprika, and a meatloaf-style glaze that adds a subtle sweet-and-savory depth you do not typically find in meal prep. Beneath it all, a fire-roasted blend of peppers, onions, and black beans adds texture and flavor that makes this dish a standout.
Top Three Maintain Plan Meals
The Maintain plan is about balance without boredom. Featuring meals with 30-40g of protein, these meals are designed to keep you on track and support your current wellness status.
#3: Mediterranean Style Chicken with Orzo
Experience all the flavors of a Mediterranean getaway without leaving your kitchen. A base of hearty orzo pasta and chickpeas is topped with chicken, zucchini, roasted bell peppers, and roasted tomatoes, rounding out the bowl with color and freshness. A Greek-style dressing and crumbled feta tie everything together.
#2: Layered Chicken Enchilada Casserole
We packed all the bold, comforting flavors of a classic enchilada into this Mexican-inspired meal. Juicy diced chicken breast is layered between corn tortillas and a rich red enchilada sauce, while onion and poblano peppers add just the right amount of heat and depth. It is finished with melty Monterey Jack cheese and sharp cheddar that make the dish feel luxurious and rich, while still fitting your macro goals.
#1: Chimichurri Salmon with Lentils
UFC Ignite does salmon right, and the Chimichurri Salmon with Lentils is no exception. Flaky salmon sits on a hearty base of green lentils, butternut squash, roasted bell peppers, and yellow corn. Finished with a vibrant chimichurri sauce, the dish has unexpected depth with smoky and savory notes. Cook this one in the oven to let the salmon really shine.
Top Three Build Plan Meals
Serious training requires serious nutrition, and that is exactly why the Build plan was created. These are the most protein-heavy meals on the UFC Ignite roster, with up to 60g of protein per dish to power your day and support strength and growth goals.
#3: Cajun Style Chicken and Sausage with Rice
Inspired by Cajun cuisine, this meal features a mix of diced chicken and pork sausage over long grain white rice and red kidney beans. The Cajun-style butter sauce is loaded with hot sauce, chipotle, cayenne, and cumin for real flavor without overwhelming heat. An onion and pepper blend plus rich paella sauce round out the base with layered flavor in every bite.
#2: Garlic Spinach Chicken with Orzo
Comfort food and meal prep rarely collide this well. This creamy dish features orzo pasta, spinach, green peas, and chicken. A mouthwatering Alfredo sauce and nutty garlic tahini add rich, unexpected depth, while fire-roasted green salsa balances it with a warm, bright kick.
#1: Broccoli Cheddar Bake with Chicken
The ultimate American-inspired comfort classic. Diced chicken and broccoli are baked over long grain rice and riced cauliflower, then smothered in a triple-cheese sauce made with cheddar, Romano, and Parmesan alongside creamy Alfredo. A panko breadcrumb finish adds a golden, satisfying crunch that makes this one feel like a cheat meal, even though it is far from it.
The most successful meal prep programs do not make you choose between hitting your macros and enjoying what is on your plate. With UFC Ignite, you will find the balance that keeps you motivated and ready to hit your next goal.
What’s the real difference between gimmicky nutrition and food that actually supports your goals? It’s design.
