Welcome to my Chapter Two journey! When you’re in a “Lock-In” phase, your meals have to be more than just fuel—they have to be a strategy. Today, I’m showing you exactly how I hit my high-protein and high-fiber goals while sticking to my 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM eating window.
The secret is? Volume. I’m using Greek yogurt, lean meats, and plenty of beans to stay full and satisfied. Here is the breakdown of my Day.
8:00 AM | Breakfast: Berry Chia Greek Yogurt Bowl
A high-fiber start to wake up my metabolism.
- The Recipe: 2 cups plain Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp chia seeds, 1 cup berries, and a dash of cinnamon.
- The Win: 400 Calories | 42g Protein | 11g Fiber
- Why it works: The chia seeds and berries provide a massive fiber hit right out of the gate.
11:00 AM | Snack: Apple and String Cheese
Simple, nostalgic, and effective.
- The Recipe: 1 medium apple sliced and 2 string cheeses.
- The Win: 250 Calories | 12g Protein | 4g Fiber
- Why it works: The combination of the fiber from the apple and the protein from the cheese keeps my energy stable until lunch.
1:30 PM | Lunch: Chicken and Bean Rice Bowl
My favorite high-volume meal that feels like a “cheat” but isn’t.
- The Recipe: 8 oz cooked chicken breast, 1 cup cooked rice, 1/2 cup black beans, 1 cup steamed broccoli, and plenty of salsa.
- The Win: 670 Calories | 70g Protein | 12g Fiber
- Why it works: This is where the bulk of my protein comes from. Using salsa as a dressing keeps the calories low while adding a punch of flavor.
3:30 PM | Final Meal: Beef Taco Bowl
Closing the window strong so I don’t feel hungry during my fast.
- The Recipe: 6 oz lean ground beef sautéed with peppers and onions, 1/2 cup beans, and 1 cup lettuce. Top with taco seasoning and salsa.
- The Win: 420 Calories | 34g Protein | 8g Fiber
- Why it works: Closing my window with beef and beans provides the iron and satiety I need to carry me through until 6:00 AM tomorrow.

🔒 Lock-In Prep Tip:
To make this day move fast, I prep my chicken, beef, and rice in bulk. When 1:30 PM hits, all I have to do is assemble my bowl and eat. It’s cheap, easy, and keeps me from making poor choices when I’m busy.
