But in the, so those business meals are when you're through the workday, breakfast, lunch, dinner, they're in the work week when you're traveling, but it's not for leisure. You stick to business meals, which sometimes means just like a protein bar too. If you like at an airport late at night, business meals mean I'm not trying to optimize for tastiness.

So for example, if you ever see me at a Chipotle, And it's a business meal. I show up, I ask for rice, I ask for beans, I ask for chicken, I'll do a little bit of queso or no queso at all, do some veggies, and that's it. And they're always like, are you sure you don't want anything else? And I'm like, nope. And there's a very plain looking meal.

And of course, people, I'm a weirdo, I don't eat salsa and stuff. You can have all the veggies on there that you want. Different look. Now, the other type of meal is a fun meal. It's a meal in which you, sure, you want to eat some protein in it. You want to be more healthy than not, but also it's a little bit just for the love, right? Like it's for the vibe. It's for the taste.

It's for the texture. It's for the food experience. And that's if I show up to Chipotle and I'm having a fun meal, I get a burrito, I get cheese and queso and sour cream in that mug because God, cheese and sour cream together are absolutely undefeated combination. It just so happens that they have tons and tons of calories.

And I want to eat another burrito as soon as I'm done with the first one because it's so goddamn good. And so that's a fun meal though. And I know I just have it quite rarely. And so I'm able by eating mostly business meals to keep in the shape that I want. And you know, a long weekend, too many fun meals. I really clamped down.

I do business through half the rest of the next weekend and I'm back to my old body weight. Everything is problem solved. And so I encourage folks to think in this dichotomy of business versus fun meals and So that they don't spend too much cognitive bandwidth trying to enhance the taste and texture and quality of their business meals.
