Add One Protein
One small addition can help your meal keep you satisfied longer.
Last week, we added a little crunch to our plates. See last week's article here. This week, we’re building on that habit by adding one simple source of protein to one meal each day.
Protein doesn’t have to mean a complicated recipe. Think eggs with breakfast, Greek yogurt with fruit, chicken or tuna on a salad, beans in a soup, or a handful of nuts alongside your snack.
The idea is simple: look at one meal you already eat and ask, “Where can I add a little protein?” Having oatmeal? Add nuts or Greek yogurt. Making a salad? Add chicken, beans, eggs, or tuna. Grabbing fruit for a snack? Pair it with peanut butter or cheese.
You don’t need to completely redesign your diet. We’re still following the same rule: add something helpful instead of focusing on restriction.

I appreciate that it says add, not cut out. Every other diet tip is about what you can't have. This feels more doable.
Eggs are doing a lot of heavy lifting in this plan lol. Not complaining though, easy and cheap.
I started doing this with my morning oatmeal. Just throw some walnuts on top and it actually keeps me full way longer. Never thought something so small would make a difference.
