If midlife feels harder, it’s not because you’re lazy. It’s because you’re using old rules in a new season. **This week we’re building a FOOD FLOOR** (minimum structure you can keep on tired days): 1) Protein at first meal (tired-day version counts) 2) Repeatable lunch (protein + fiber) 3) Planned dinner + tired-day backup 4) Water baseline ✅ **Comment below:** Which part is hardest right now — mornings, lunch, dinner, or cravings?

What “boring” food keeps you steady? (examples: eggs, Greek yogurt, soup, chicken salad, cottage cheese, protein smoothie) Drop yours — someone needs it.

Midlife-friendly snack = **protein + fiber** (so you don’t crash and crave later). **Pick one:** • Greek yogurt + berries + cinnamon • Apple + nut butter • Cottage cheese + sliced tomato + pepper • Turkey roll-ups + crunchy veggies ✅ Comment: Which one can you actually do today? No gourmet. Real life.

A lot of night snacking isn’t a character flaw. It’s your body saying, “You didn’t feed me earlier.” Pick ONE lunch you can repeat 3x/week: • turkey wrap + veggies • Greek yogurt + berries + nuts • leftovers + salad What’s one lunch you can repeat without overthinking? If lunch feels hard, tell me why — time, appetite, or stress?

Drop your #1 struggle you want help with next week (sleep, cravings, consistency, energy).
