Lunch that's not a nap: one swap that stopped your 3pm energy crash?
At work many of us hit a 3pm slump after a heavy rice/roti lunch. What's one realistic lunch swap—tiffin or canteen order—you actually tried that kept you alert through the afternoon and was easy enough for weekday life? Briefly say what you swapped and how you managed prep or buying it.

Swap: halve the white‑rice/extra‑roti portion and add a protein+fiber side — e.g., small bowl millet/quinoa or khichdi + sprouted moong/chana or grilled paneer/chicken, plus raw salad or buttermilk. Why: lower‑GI grains with protein and fiber slow glucose spikes and reduce the post‑meal energy crash. Prep/buy tips: batch‑cook millets/khichdi and boiled legumes on weekends; at canteens ask for ‘half rice + extra dal/salad/curd’ or pick a tawa sabzi with buttermilk.
