Check how the whole meal lands
Food is one part of energy. Notice meal timing, sleep and symptoms together rather than assigning the result to one nutrient.
Track: energy 1–3 hours later
Appetite changes
Notice patterns without judgment
One meal does not determine body weight. Look at fullness, energy and repeatable eating patterns over time instead.
Track: fullness + meal rhythm
Fatigue
Separate a pattern from one day
Notice energy alongside sleep, meals and symptoms across several days. Ongoing fatigue deserves a clinical conversation.

Brain fog
Add the missing context
Sleep, stress, meals and symptoms overlap. Seeing them together is more useful than crediting one ingredient.

If packing this for work or travel, keep the cherry tomatoes whole so they don't release their juices and get mushy in transit.
For a slightly sweeter
For a slightly sweeter, classic Italian variation that still keeps carbohydrates relatively low, you can swap the tomatoes for a few slices of fresh cantaloupe.
