Everyday Systems

Hello fellow No S'ers.

I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions for certain foods to eat/tips to help with increased energy during the day. I've hopped on-line and read about some foods that could help, but I thought I'd ask here to see if any of you have tried certain things and actually saw results.

Thanks!

If I have a challenging day, eggs for breakfast (whole eggs, not egg white) seem to keep me going longer. One boiled egg or two scrambled, with toast. I'm keen to see what others suggest.

Lots of water. I usually have a big waterbottle of ice water with a splash of unsweetened cranberry juice. Also, if really tired I usually eat, but a 15 minute nap curbs that.

A good dose of protein with every meal.

Hi,

I eat eggs & toast & fruit for breakfast almost every morning. I personally take a multivitamin & cod liver oil & Vitamin B complex (I think the last one is most helpful for energy levels.

Oh and 1 cup of coffee... No more no less (or it will make me tired)

God bless

I definitely agree on the protein/water...and caffeine. (For me, I need it!).
But to make each of your meals COUNT (fiber-wise, etc).
I know if I eat crackers, white bread, and "airy food" over veggies, protein, cheese, etc...then I feel weak and tired.
Just a thought!
Oh and exercise UPS my energy level.

Thanks so much everyone for your replies. I've started a few of these ideas already this past week or so and can tell the difference already!

Thanks again - much appreciated!

I think what's most important is eating real food as opposed to processed foods.

I second and third water(so does my trainer) also b vitamins and whole foods altogether.
I feel better when I eat better, I know for sure what ibb said I feel tired and sluggish when I eat too much white flour, and sugar, and things like chips, and potatoes.

Exercise, fresh air and sunshine do wonders too. I struggle with low energy levels myself, I think I always have. If things don't get better perhaps check your iron levels, or just talk to a doctor.
