i’m six months in and my appetite has gone quiet in a way I didn’t expect. The problem isn’t wanting junk — it’s that almost nothing sounds appealing, so I coast on coffee, a few crackers, and then panic at 9 p.m.
because I’m nowhere near my protein number. I can usually get 70–90 g if I plan, but my goal is around 130 g and the last four weeks I’ve been hovering there, scale barely moving, energy flat. Greek yogurt helps.
Rotisserie chicken helps until I’m sick of it. Eggs are fine one day and repulsive the next.
I don’t want to live on bars and shakes, but I also can’t keep ending the day with a sad spoon of cottage cheese. For people who’ve gotten protein up without forcing meals: what actually worked when your appetite was low?
Did you change timing, texture, or just accept a boring rotation?
