What’s the best food to eat for lunch with a packed schedule of discovery calls, meetings, etc? I always find myself way too sleepy by the middle of the afternoon

My perfect lunch is a salad with chicken breast. Provides me some protein and makes me feel full without being super bloated by 3pm.
Hell yeah man need to get on that. So used to chipotle lol
proteins and salad or other greans. Coffee throughout the day (drip in the morning, espresso in the afternoon.)
I've actually on some days switched out my afternoon coffee for an afternoon Tea. Felt it was a "cleaner" pick me up than the coffee.
Yeah I legit cannot drink coffee- makes me too jittery
Protein and minimal carbs. Then a little bit of caffeine or nicotine (zyn/pure nicotine pouches if that is your vice) after lunch.
Nicotine fiend yessir
Usually I pound coffee till noon then make a chicken nugget salad (I cut up chicken nuggets I cook in the oven put them over a bed of lettuce cover in Russian dressing) and devour it. (Also drink a lot of water in the mornings so I don't get jittery from the coffee)
I always try to keep it light at lunch, whether that means a soup or some sort of salad. I find that keeping it small prevents me from getting in that food coma / lethargic state that can be common after lunch.
I've also been consuming a few cups of matcha throughout the day. My manager recently introduced me to it, it's not for everyone but its definitely worth giving it a shot if you're looking for an extra boost without the jittery side effects of coffee

What is matcha? Definitely want to look into this

There's also a ton of different grades of matcha but I haven't looked too much into that yet. $25 bag on amazon does the trick

Thanks for sharing this🙌
Agree with most of the comments here - my go to is a salad with some sort of protein. I used to eat heavier meetings for lunch, but would always have to chug coffee to snap out of the food coma. I typically add in some extra good carbs as a snack around 3pm just so my blood sugar doesn't crater though... done that before as well, not fun. Those headaches suck.
Afternoon coffee or tea is a must for me.
I've been using Factor for a couple of months now. Nice that we're all a bit more sedentary outside of the office. And don't have to spends hours a week meal-prepping.
Yeah that’s a great idea
opt for Tuna, eggs (if you are a fan of breakfast food like I am), Chicken or Turkey. Maybe a homemade bunless burger can work for you too.
I’m all over the map on this but I like to keep it light. Bit of protein, some greens and more coffee anyone should reasonably consume.
Greens + salad + egg whites and coffee to keep going👍
