"Nice job Alex on your 12th fiber and protein-rich meal this week. Amazing youve reached your target! Your sandwich with cottage cheese and tomatoes looks delicious! Lean proteins like cottage cheese and fiber from tomatoes are excellent choices. They keep you full and satisfied throughout the day. Remember to drink plenty of water. I hope you continue to track your progress on this routine after this week until it becomes a habit. Ive added a badge to this healthy meal so you can find it more easily to redo or share with friends (will do the same with any of yours meal meal where my feedback is minimal) hope thats helpful!"
