Man, you're both right but timing matters too! I used to eat my apple at like 11 AM and still hit a wall. Moved it to 2:30, right before the slump, and it actually works.

It's wild how fast it changes everything. I mean, I went from just tossing coffee grounds in a bucket to actually getting excited about crushed eggshells. That first time you sift it and the dirt just feels different, like really soft and rich. It makes all the kitchen scraps feel useful instead of just trash.
