Note that these often do not include fruits and vegetables. When I'm in this mode, I usually have a very small window of time during which I can convince myself to eat so I prioritize expediency.

Most days, my lunch is a salad and when we eat out I try to go for a veggie-heavy option. And thus some measure of balance is achieved.

These meals are also usually pretty bland because my palette gets funky. Add your own spices! Spices are good when your brain and tastebuds align.

I love pizza, but I haven't found a frozen gluten-free pizza I like. So sometimes, when I need a high-protein snack, I make a crustless "pizza" in a skillet.

Mozzarella cheese, pre-cooked toppings (pepperoni for me), pizza sauce (Rao's is my favorite) in a skillet over medium heat until the cheese is golden brown. You can also do this in a waffle iron, but I don't have one.

Apologies, I don't know how well vegan cheese would work here.
