Breakfast I've got handled — Greek yogurt with a spoon of cottage cheese stirred in, tastes better than it sounds, and I'm at 30 grams before I've finished my coffee. Dinner is usually fine too. Lunch is where I fall apart.
I'm at my desk, I don't want to think, and suddenly it's crackers and hummus and I'm hungry again by 3.
This week's experiment: Sunday I cooked a pound of chicken thighs, shredded the whole thing, and split it into four containers with a spoonful of pesto on each. Tuesday I actually ate one instead of grazing standing up.
Tiny thing, but the interesting part is what happened after — my 8pm snack urge basically didn't show up that night. Same thing Wednesday. Apparently a real lunch buys me a quieter evening, which I did not expect.
So I'm collecting ideas. What's your no-recipe lunch that you genuinely don't get tired of? Extra credit if it survives a desk and doesn't need reheating — that's the part that keeps breaking my streak.
