3 Simple Swaps That’ll Actually Make You Feel Better This Week

Ever feel like no matter how “healthy” you try to be, you still feel tired, snacky, or stuck? It’s not about going all in—it’s about making small changes that actually work.

Here are 3 simple swaps that’ll boost your energy, keep cravings in check, and help you feel better fast, without the all-or-nothing mindset.

1. Skip skipping breakfast. Start with protein.

You might think skipping breakfast is saving you calories—but what it’s really doing is setting you up for a crash.

Starting your day with 20–30g of protein helps balance blood sugar, reduce cravings, and give you sustainable energy.

Important: A protein shake alone is not a meal. Think of it as a supplement to support real food—not replace it.

Ideas for easy, protein-packed breakfasts:

  • A shake + hard-boiled eggs

  • Scrambled eggs + avocado toast

  • Greek yogurt with berries and hemp seeds


2. Build a salad that actually satisfies.

If your salad leaves you raiding the pantry 20 minutes later, it needs a glow-up.

A satisfying salad includes:

  • Protein: Chicken, tuna, eggs, tofu

  • Fats: Avocado, feta, olive oil dressing

  • Fiber: Roasted chickpeas, quinoa, colorful veggies

  • Flavor: Herbs, fruit, pickled onions, seeds

Your salad should fill you up and taste amazing. No sad desk lunches here.


3. Put down your phone. Go for a 10-minute walk.

Scrolling doesn’t reset your mind—it often adds to the noise.

A short walk, on the other hand:

  • Improves your mood

  • Aids digestion

  • Supports blood sugar + metabolism

  • Lowers stress

  • Boosts creativity

Set a timer. Step outside. You’ll be amazed what 10 minutes can do.

You don’t have to overhaul everything.
