I think I could write a lot about this topic; you’ve got my wheels turning! I think about it perhaps more than most because I do have food sensitivities, and have noticed I absolutely cannot get away with a poor diet. It causes dreadful symptoms. So it has to be a big part of my life.
I know that I will never want to stop to make lunch so this is actually one meal that I really have to plan, but the nice thing is, I can piggyback onto dinner by making extras.
I also order a few meals a week from Fresh Prep, both meal kits and prepared salads. Game changer, even if my ego feels like it’s lazy. It takes a lot of mental work up front to figure out a rough food plan for the week and make sure I have what I need in my fridge, but it’s proven to be worth it.
Now, it’s a matter of creative the space to write and stick with it, knowing my body is fuelled and nourished. 😊
This makes such sense to me for one with food sensitivities. I liked what Jenny said about slowing down to do the prep, and can see this as part of my writing, like the way a walk can solve a problem on the page. I’m like you though, it has to be easy at lunch or I don’t choose well.
She has some cool stuff on her site that supports gluten and dairy free meals.
Like your mention of habits. Recently started to think about my day in blocks...morning, afternoon, early evening and late evening. How each part of the day can create flow and focus.

That seems to be a great way to have both structure and enough wide open space for spontaneity and flow.
