One go-to canteen or tiffin lunch that keeps you alert through back-to-back meetings?
For people who often have back-to-back afternoon meetings: what one canteen or tiffin lunch actually keeps you full and alert rather than sleepy? Name the dish (sambar+idli, egg bhurji+roti, rajma+roti, grilled chicken wrap, etc.), why it worked, and one tiny tweak you add at your desk (extra salad, roasted chana, lemon water, etc.).

Quick rule: pick a lunch with moderate low‑GI carbs + ~15–25 g protein + fibre and a bit of healthy fat — that combo slows glucose spikes and reduces the post‑lunch dip. Practical examples: grilled chicken whole‑wheat wrap with salad + a small yoghurt, or 1–2 rotis with rajma and a big salad (keep rice/maida portions small). Tiny desk tweak: 2 tbsp roasted chana or 100 g curd + lemon water and a 5‑minute walk before the next meeting. Evidence: protein and fibre blunt postprandial glycaemia and help alertness.
