🚶♀️ Your Action Item: The Double Dare
This week, eat one unconventional high-protein breakfast. Skip the oatmeal and the toast and make your first meal of the day something unexpected. Leftover steak, meatballs, a chicken breast with vegetables. There are no breakfast rules.
Ask yourself:
- What real protein do I already have in my fridge or freezer right now?
- What would it look like to build my first meal of the day around that instead?
