Takeaways
- Decide the protein anchor before the meal gets chaotic.
- A simple default order beats waiting until you are already underfed.
- Protein distribution across the day is easier when each meal has a clear anchor.
Why this matters
A travel day should not turn your intake into a lottery. One solid protein choice early usually keeps the rest of the day in range.
