Almonds are an awesome source of energy. They are fatty so I try not to eat more than 20 a day! I don't drink caffeine or anything like that I just find once I start exercising I get so motivated!
Peanut butter is also good. Try the natural peanut butter though. It is not loaded with extra oil or sugar:)0 -
I find that exercise always increases my energy level for the rest of the day. It also helps me sleep better which gives me more energy!0

are you eating and sleeping enough & consistently?0

I concur! Taking a multivitamin couldn't hurt either.0

Love the "Buddhist Wisdom" quote above!!0

I take a pre trainer drink such as NO Xplode or Xpand (with that I usually take half a scoop)
Gets me through my workouts and I don't feel tired afterwards which is good cause after I workout I still need to cook dinner, clean the kitchen, and put the kids to bed!0 -

I do take a multi Vitamin.
I exercise daily and Eat healthy
I seem to STILL be lacking serious energy. It's horrible. I try to get good sleep but it's hard with my kids.0 -
It's possible you could actually require some additional carbs. The most common advice I give to new P90X folks is to "eat more". They'll change their diet and cut out too many carbs while increasing their protein intake...and protein takes a lot of calories to break down. Perhaps a healthy source of energy. My favorite pick-me-up is some peanut-butter and honey on a slice of whole wheat bread.0
