Hot take: Having a set meal time keeps my day on track
I started eating lunch at the same exact time every work day, and it really helps me build a routine. It stops me from grazing all afternoon and feeling sluggish after meals.

Setting a firm lunch hour really does anchor your day. I go for 12:30 because it splits my workday evenly. Why let hunger decide when you eat? Last week I missed my window and ended up snacking on junk from the vending machine. Now I block out that time on my shared calendar so coworkers know not to schedule meetings. Sticking to it takes effort, but the routine pays off.

My lunchtime is locked in tighter than a bank vault (seriously, 12:29 feels like chaos). Pick a time and defend it like it’s your job, because apparently my willpower vanishes if a meeting runs long. The vending machine starts calling my name, and next thing I know I’m eating cheese crackers for lunch. It’s less about hunger and more about not letting the workday win.
