- drink 90-120 oz of water throughout the day; get a venti/trenta Starbucks reusable cup, and drink 1 immediately after workout, 1 during morning, 1 midday/afternoon, 1 5pm and after
- consider splitting your lunch into two; eat the bulk of it at whatever time you have lunch, but save a small portion of it and a handful of a snack for the mid afternoon timeframe (if you are blowing past lunch without eating, perhaps try having two protein-heavy snacks - one around 10-11 and one around 2-3)
- plan. Either meal or ingredient prep on the weekends, or make sure you have lunch meat, slices of cheese and fruit that you can pull out in pieces to cobble together lunch or snack portions on the fly.
- if you get a sweet tooth by mid afternoon, try a sweet, fruit or herbal tea option - hot or cold, depending on your preference
- if you’re just bored and antsy by mid afternoon and snacking is a habit, introduce a different habit: tea, 25 squats, 1-5 min plank, deep breathing and neck stretches, etc

I put 2 “just heat” lunches in the fridge on Sunday. Then one day is an omelette and yoghurt day. By Thursday I have some kind of meal leftover from earlier 3 days. And Friday I order in. Trust me this has been my savior. I also block 30 mins on my calendar that I don’t move. Need to take care of myself. Hope it helps 👍

Eat before you get to I'm so hungry I'm gonna eat everything mode.
Have leftovers ready to go, or fruit right in front of you.
Personally I find that eating a heavier lunch means I can do a light snack towards EOD, a few hours before dinner. I also workout at night so if I'm hungry, I won't workout.
Eating lunch a little later than normal and drink water, as it fills you up.
