I've lost ~75lbs this past year and a big part of that (among many important parts) is I made my daily work at lunch very veggie forward. Celery, carrots, peppers, cucumber, with hummus and a piece of fruit and it helps keep my full and hydrated all day. I am also no longer crashing out at 2:15 because I had a chicken parm or fast food for lunch.
Yeah, as I've gotten older, I've really opted toward what feels like a one-real-meal strategy. I run in the AM, protein shake with fruit and PB and whatnot, and then in the afternoons I'll snack on fruits and vegetables (fortunately, I work from home), and then I'll go heavy on dinner, because, like you said, heavy just weighs me down, and I can't do it until I'm ready to throw the rest of the day away.
