Camille Moss wasn’t tired—she was exhausted. “It wasn’t just physical,” she says. “It was mental fog, low motivation, that constant drag-you-down feeling.”
A friend suggested she look at her diet, and Camille shrugged. “I was plant-based, wasn’t that supposed to be healthy?” Quest Nutrition Ultimate Variety Pack Protein Bars, High Protein, Low Carb, Gluten Free, Keto Friendly, 12 Count
Turns out, just being plant-based doesn’t guarantee energy. Camille had fallen into a cycle of carbs and caffeine: bagels, noodles, toast, coffee. She rarely ate legumes, skipped breakfast often, and hadn’t touched leafy greens in weeks.
That’s when she decided to design a weekly plan—not for weight loss, not for trends, but for stamina. “I wanted to eat in a way that powered my day instead of draining it,” she says.
She began adding structure: oatmeal with chia and berries for breakfast, a hearty lentil and quinoa salad for lunch, snacks like hummus and cucumber, and dinners filled with leafy greens, beans, and whole grains. She upped her water intake and cut back on the late-night sugar.
After the first full week, the difference was dramatic. Her mornings weren’t a fog, her workouts felt easier, and by Friday, she was still going strong. “I realized energy isn’t something you hope for,” Camille says. “It’s something you feed.”
Now, her weekly meal plan is less about discipline and more about support. “This isn’t a chore,” she adds. “It’s how I take care of my future self.”
