I'm not like at 11 o'clock. Oh my gosh, it's 10:49. I can't eat yet. And then like, you know, once I get hungry, I just start eating and I try to be conscious always of higher protein. Always like protein is always like the number one thing I think about every single time I eat. I have a pretty high demand for it because I have muscle, right? And then I kind of add healthy fats and carbs to that.
