If you're saying 'I'll start Monday', you're starting wrong. Motivation doesn't arrive on Mondays — it comes from small, consistent choices every day. Five steps.

1. Breakfast: start with protein. Eggs, yogurt, cheese. Swap simple carbs (white bread, jam) for oats or whole grain. A filling breakfast cuts mid-morning snack cravings.

2. Lunch: half-plate vegetable rule. Protein and whole grain beside it. Even on fast-food days, stick to the half-plate — a side salad, or a veggie wrap instead of a white-bread sandwich.

3. Snack: keep healthy options within reach. Apple + peanut butter, yogurt + fruit, a handful of walnuts. Keep one of these combos in your office drawer at all times.

4. Dinner: light and early. Finish by 19:00 ideally. Heavy dinners drop sleep quality and trigger next-morning fatigue.

5. Water: one glass first thing in the morning. Target 2 liters through the day. Cap tea/coffee (3-4 per day). Water tracking in NutriWitty is one tap.

Every step is small. But consistent. Try a week — notice the difference?
