I tried this volume-eating-style salad every day for a week and it kept me full all afternoon and kicked my snacking habit

I always struggle with what to eat for lunch during the week and often feel too pressed for time to make something healthy. But if I can meal prep on a Sunday night, my weekday lunches work like a dream.

So when I came across women’s fat loss coach Madelaine Rascan’s trending low-calorie lunch on Instagram—a salad built around greens, lean protein, fiber-rich carbs and healthy fats—I decided to give it a try for my lunch, even though Rascan usually eats this low-calorie meal for dinner.
