I realize I have been underfueling and need to course-correct

I need a substantial snack to stay sharp
A planned snack or steady meal timing keeps me even
Fine without much food; light nibble at most
I am learning to add a snack to avoid energy dips

Travel day fueling style:
Pack hefty snacks and plan real meals or I fade fast
Steady snacks and water keep me chugging along
Light options so I do not feel heavy while sitting
I am working on remembering to bring enough food at all
undefined
Your ideal lunch plate looks most like:
Hearty carbs, solid protein, colorful veggies, and fats
Balanced portions across the board, not too much or little
Protein-forward with fiber; keep portions modest
More than I used to eat, rebuilding consistency and balance

Lean proteins, produce, and smaller carb portions
More snacks and carbs lately to support a comeback in activity

Irritability and quick energy crashes on active days

Loud and clear: feed me now
Present but patient
Quiet; a light start suits me best
