    I eat rice cakes with 15g of light cream cheese and occasionally a couple sliced of beetroot on top. I find this really filling for low calories. Or a whole mound of thinly sliced courgettes fried in 10 squirts of 1 cal butter flavoured spray, fried until they're nearly burnt.. A bit like healthy crisps! Or make a packet of sugar free jelly and blend with some 0% fat Greek yoghurt. Let it set and you have yummy low cal mousse!

    Love, calories are a unit for energy! Low calories equals low energy and vice versa. It's more the question I think of what keeps you full and happy longer. That however is very individual.

    True

    This is an oxymoron! Calories are a unit of energy.

    I find moderate exercise energizing.

    As to what foods might be energizing, or at least not make you sleepy, this is very individual. Products made from wheat flour like bread make me sleepy; bread from sprouted grains does not. But this is of course not a universal truth.

    3 kids...3 breast feeding adventures... Ive never regained my energy. LOL <only partly kidding>

    Feed your body adequate nutrition for you and baby and drink tons of water.
    Get moving daily. Light meals/ snacks throughout the day are helpful. Especially pre-made (by you or otherwise) so you dont have to fuss. Fruit, veggies with laughing cow cheese. An abundence of simple carbs would make me crash.

    What are you feeling a lack of energy doing? You are feeding another human...it takes its toll. Also depending if its still a NB and no amount of food can replace sleep.
