Agree. It really makes a difference as long as it's a deep sleep.0 -

So, what are some good food items that are full of protien I can eat on my break at work?
I have been enjoying simple, plain greek yogurt. I know it's boring but a 90 calorie yogurt is fat free and has 15 grams of protein. It's a great snack, you can always throw 3/4c of multigrain cereal into it to make it a complete breakfast.0 -
Yeah, I see how that makes sense! Lol

Any suggestions?

Carbs make you tired, if you eat low fat and low protein, your body doesn't have the proper energy reserves to keep you going through your day.
Consider not eating carbohydrates for a month to test out the theory.0 -

I love doing this, and also adding in some fruit. I pack my yogurt and frozen fruit in the morning, and leave it out of the fridge so that by the time I'm eating it, the fruit has melted.
I also picked up Kelloggs' protein cereal to top it with.0 -

Okay, I can try. I dont know how well I will do!0 -
Try green tea (without sugar) with slice of lemon. When I know I'll be having a long day I make my self half a litter of green tea, put some lemon slices in, let it cool and drink when I feel drowsy.
Start drinking it 3 hours into your shift, so you beat the 4 hour drowsiness.
If that doesn't work then maybe you just need some post workout snack to regain the energy.0 -

this is not necessary. carbs are not bad.
really, you can just try caffiene, more sleep, check for anemia, etc0 -

I feel like while eating low carb works great for some people, it's not the answer for everyone. Try making sure you're meeting your macros, especially protein, and maybe you need a few more calories after your workout and fewer later in the day.0 -
I workout at 5 am 3 times a week for heavy resistance training. You need to find out how your body responds best for you. Hydration is important. Sleep is important the night before. Get to bed to early. I actually love espresso but use a preworkout filled with caffeine so I wont drink any espresso/coffee on training days. Carbs are not the enemy. They fuel your workouts. Best advice is get more sleep.0

Love to workout in the morning. To get it done and I'm with you I get so tired. My advice is an energy bar or protein shake in the afternoon.0 -
