Lunch can be all over the place. Especially when you’re busy.

You either skip it, grab something random, or eat standing up while multitasking.

Then you're probably starving by 3 and snacking your way to dinner.

But the right lunch can do more than fill your stomach...

It can set the tone for your whole afternoon.

This one’s easy to make.

It’s loaded with protein and also makes a great meal-prep option, too.

It’s especially great if you’re a busy professional dealing with stubborn belly fat or low energy.
