I weigh daily, but I only get attached to my 10-day trend. That mindset made me stop chasing perfect protein meals and start keeping three anchors in the fridge. Anchor one: cottage cheese, frozen berries, and a spoon of chia — I don’t measure, just a cereal bowl. Anchor two: two hard-boiled eggs mashed with tuna, mustard, and pickle relish, eaten on cucumber rounds. Anchor three: pre-cooked chicken thighs diced into bagged salad with olive oil and lemon. Last Tuesday I had a salty dinner, the scale jumped 1.6 lbs, and none of it was real; my trend line barely wiggled. The meals that stick for me are boring, repeatable, and take under 10 minutes. What’s your default protein thing when chewing feels like a chore?
