Lunch leaves me ready for a nap lately

My weekly averages are still drifting down by about half a pound, so I do not want to sound ungrateful, but the last few days I have felt unusually heavy and sleepy about twenty minutes after lunch. Breakfast is fine. Dinner is mild. Lunch is the one that makes me want to close my eyes at my desk. I have been keeping the meal simple: leftovers, protein first, a small portion of rice, plenty of water. It is not a huge meal, yet the droopiness is real. I am wondering whether this is just my body adjusting, a sign my portions need another look, or simply the return of the afternoon slump I used to blame on coffee. Has anyone else noticed a specific meal or time of day that brings this on? I would love to hear what you changed, if anything, without turning every lunch into a project.
