Ever realize it’s 3 PM and all you’ve had is coffee and maybe a handful of something from the pantry? It happens. Lunch tends to be the meal that gets skipped, rushed, or thrown together last minute. But if you’ve been feeling drained, distracted, or dealing with mid-afternoon cravings, what you eat midday could be making a bigger impact than you think. In this solo episode, we’re talking about why lunch matters (especially for women over 35) and how to make it work when life is busy. I’ll share simple, high-protein meal ideas that don’t take forever to prep, tips for meal prep that actually fit into a packed schedule, and on-the-go options for those days when sitting down for lunch just isn’t happening. Key Points: ✅ How a solid lunch can keep your energy steady and cravings in check. ✅ The easiest ways to get enough protein without overcomplicating it. ✅ Quick, realistic meal ideas for busy days—whether you prefer to meal prep or need something fast. ✅ Easy grab-and-go options for when you don’t have time to cook. ✅ Small shifts that make a big difference in how you feel by the end of the day. ✅ And so much more… If lunch hasn’t been a priority, maybe it’s time to change that. It doesn’t have to be perfect—just something that works for you. A little planning goes a long way in keeping you fueled, focused, and feeling good. Want to stress less and feel better?
