EAT CLEAN
Evening hunger is where a cut collapses. The fix isn't willpower, it's volume: food that fills a bowl and your stomach without filling the day's calorie budget. All 20 recipes here stay under about 450 kcal per serving while keeping protein high — big salads that aren't sad, soups, scrambles, and bowls you can eat at 9 pm without doing damage.

Meals with a lot of weight and bulk per calorie: lean protein, vegetables, broth-based dishes. Your stomach counts volume; the scale counts calories. These play both.
Something with 30g+ of protein under about 450 kcal. That ends the hunger without moving the number in the morning.
It protects muscle while the scale drops, and it's the most filling macro per calorie. On a cut, protein is the budget you don't trim.
