57 and I have genuinely lost the will with anything that involves a meal plan longer than three days or a shopping list that looks like a dissertation. I don't want a lifestyle overhaul. I want dinner to be edible and not leave me face-down on the sofa by 8pm. I've been trying to just anchor three evening meals a week around something with decent protein, mostly because someone here mentioned it a while back and it stuck. Chicken thighs with whatever veg is about to go off. Eggs a lot. Tinned fish which I am slowly making peace with. Nothing glamorous. But I've noticed I'm less likely to raid the biscuit tin at 10pm on the nights I've actually eaten properly, so something is happening. The energy crashes are the bit I can't get my head around. I've mentioned them to my GP but I sort of brushed past it when she asked follow-up questions, which is very me. I think I need to actually write down when they're happening before my next appointment so I can give her something useful rather than just saying "I'm tired all the time" like every woman over 50 ever. Anyway. If anyone has high protein dinner ideas that don't require me to be a different person, I'm all ears. Nothing too fussy. I've got a normal oven and limited patience 😂
