Gongdeok salad shop, post-workout chicken & beef boxes: Why Starve

Since I started working out recently, I've naturally gotten a lot more interested in managing my diet too.

Even if you work out hard, eating the same chicken breast or salad every time gets boring fast. So this time I looked for a Gongdeok salad spot that delivers on both taste and fullness, and ended up at Why Starve Diet Gongdeok Main Branch.

It's near Gongdeok Station, so it's easy to get to. You can eat in, but this time I took two protein boxes to go to eat after my workout. It works for everything from busy office lunches to post-workout meals, so let me introduce it.

Where is Why Starve Diet Gongdeok Main Branch?

Why Starve Diet Gongdeok Main Branch is on B1 of Lotte Castle President, which connects directly to Gongdeok Station, so it was really easy to find.

The shop is clean, bright and pleasant overall, so eating alone felt no pressure at all.

If you work around Gongdeok Station, it's a good lunchtime stop, and if you order ahead and take it to go, you can sort out a meal easily even when you're busy.

I'd also recommend the takeout option to people like me who want to eat comfortably at home after working out.

Two protein boxes to go after my workout

The two items I took away from Why Starve's Gongdeok branch were the Chicken Light Protein Box (salad) and the Beef Light Protein Box (salad).

I liked being able to pick my protein, chicken or beef, and with both packed up, it was fun choosing according to my mood that day.

Above all, it's not just a salad full of greens. It has meat plus a variety of vegetables, so it was plenty for a full meal.

Chicken Light Protein Box: won't the chicken breast be dry?

The chicken in the Chicken Light Protein Box was softer and milder than I expected. Fresh vegetables were generously packed, with a hearty helping of chicken on top, so it looked appetizing too.

Chicken breast can easily turn out dry, but I enjoyed it. The crunchy vegetables went well with the plain chicken, and eating it with the sauce took away that bland feeling salads often have.

After a workout I look for something not too heavy that still gets me protein, and the chicken protein box fit that well.

Beef Light Protein Box: what kind of day is it for?

If you like beef, I think the Beef Light Protein Box will be very satisfying. The beef flavor gives it a different charm from the chicken.

Eaten with fresh vegetables, it was light yet you could really taste the meat. Salad alone can leave me hungry quickly, but with meat in it, the fullness lasted quite a while.

It's a good pick for days when you're dieting but crave meat, or want something hearty after exercise.

Is it good for a Gongdeok Station office lunch?

Why Starve's protein boxes give you vegetables and protein together, so I'd recommend them as a lunch for office workers around Gongdeok Station. After trying both, I understood why people eating healthy look for salads and protein boxes.

It's not a light vegetable-only meal, since you get protein too, so it felt filling. Especially if you work near Gongdeok Station, I'd recommend it as a lunch option.

When eating spicy, heavy food every day feels like too much, you can have a clean meal here, and it's convenient to take to the office. I bought mine after my workout; it was easy to carry, and I was happy to eat it right when I got home.

If you want to eat well and manage your diet

A diet meal doesn't have to be tasteless or leave you hungry, right? The Why Starve protein boxes I tried combine fresh vegetables and protein, so I got both flavor and fullness.

I'd choose the Chicken Light Protein Box on days I want something plain, and the Beef Light Protein Box on days I want a richer taste. I'd recommend this place to people looking for a healthy post-workout meal, people sick of their daily diet food, and office workers wanting a clean, filling lunch near Gongdeok Station.

If you're looking for a good Gongdeok salad spot, try managing your diet deliciously and filling with a protein box from Why Starve Diet Gongdeok Main Branch.
