I see this a lot, especially with women who are trying to eat “well”.
The lunch looks great on paper -protein, plants, healthy fats - but it can still be too small to actually sustain you.
Then mid-afternoon comes and you’re hungry again, picking at things, wondering why you’re still looking for food.
Sometimes there’s nothing to “fix” about your appetite. You just needed a more substantial lunch.
For me, that meant more cottage cheese, some corn and sourdough. For someone else it might be potatoes, rice, grains, beans, or simply more of what’s already on the plate.
The point isn’t bread. The point is adequacy.
Eating well is about what you eat. But it’s also about eating enough.
