energy for work?

FauxAngel13

Hi, I will be working 55 hours this week and am in desperate need of things to snack on that wont run over the cal count and actually provide some form of reasonable energy as I am feeling really tired

I should probably mention that I am on my feet all day, either serving customers in a retail environment or picking and packing stock orders...

Lost of fruits for quick energy... grapes are a good one. 100calorie bags of pop corn... it fills you up quick for low calories. Rice cakes with some peanut butter are great as well.. Greek yogurt, I especially like the dannon light and fit stuff, its only 80 calories.

If you have time to boil a couple of eggs before you go to work then they're really filling and good protein - should give you some energy. Also, if you're tired in general, you might want to consider taking an iron supplement. Hope this helps x

thanks, the popcorn was a lifesaver this week, going to try the eggs next week, need to overcome the idea of hating eating boiled egg lol

I'm against all empty carbs for your purpose. Popcorn is ridiculous. You should look for more heavy nutrient dense foods. Nuts, beef jerky, can you take a chicken breast?, fruits are good, but not too much, you don't want a sugar high, focus on protein and fat, not sugar and carbs.

Chicken breast really is not that nutritious.
