I'm with Angela, eating smaller meals every couple of hours made a huge difference to my energy levels. I try to have protein and fat/oil with every meal, and carbs when I need them. I make up mixes/smoothies, that I can sip if its not convenient to make a meal. I use protein powder (whey and casein), oil (hemp seed or flax), and whole, organic unhomogenised milk (plenty of carbs and nutrients). A wide mouthed thermous with some ice cubes works good to keep them cold, and is easy to clean.
I also learned the value of chewing your food properly, eating slowly and enjoying it, to enable it to digest well and be usefull. Likewise with the mixes/smoothies, sipping them slowly, not gulping them, makes digestion a lot better. Thats also one of the reasons a lot of people have trouble with milk, they gulp it quickly, and saliva can't do its job in the breakdown process. |
