Two meals a day — usually a late brunch and an early dinner — cuts out snacking and decision fatigue. Because each meal is bigger, it can feel more satisfying than the same calories spread thin, which makes a deficit easier to hold. It overlaps with time-restricted eating but the point here is meal size and simplicity, not the clock.
- →People who find constant snacking is where the calories creep in
- →Anyone who prefers two substantial meals
- →Those who want less to plan and prep
- LunchThree-Egg Veggie ScrambleLate brunch, ~11am — add 2 slices of sourdough, half an avocado and fruit to make it a full meal.
- DinnerChicken & Rice Power BowlEarly dinner, ~6pm. Finish with Greek yogurt and berries if you have room.
- →Front-load protein at both meals — two meals means two chances to hit it, so make them count.
- →If two meals leaves you too hungry to train, you probably need three — this is a preference, not a rule.
- →Plenty of water and a coffee bridge the gap between meals.
