"Second Breakfast" and Lunch

Protein and fiber

For a midmorning snack, Lowery likes oatmeal and berries with a scoop of vanilla protein powder. Lunch, 2 1/2 to 3 hours later, might be a grilled chicken breast accompanied by a high-fiber vegetable (such as broccoli) along with a cup of brown rice (for even more fiber, toss in some black beans) or two small red potatoes. Meals like this require a lot of chewing, which slows your appetite and gives your brain time to send the "stop eating" signal. The high protein content can also speed your metabolism.
