Carb under load?

Posted on January 7, 2015

So, this AM I woke up and made a kale, banana smoothie then about 3 hours later ate Apple,egg white, and turkey slices. Though all day today I've been a slug. I wonder if my body is in "wtf where are my carbs" mode. I feel like I'm eating enough. I possibly could just be tired. (If I don't get my 8 hours, I feel it the next day)

I have been eating every 3 hours and they are (mostly) small meals except lunch is normally my biggest. Today it was a delicious salad with veggies, fruit, and veggie masala patty. I then proceeded to eat PB out of the jar for a snack. BAD IDEA. I went to cycling and came home for some leftover chicken soup and other random munchies.

Carbs are really important first thing in the morning! That's how your metabolism starts up and gets going. Try to eat some whole grains like unsweetened oatmeal (you can add fruit and plain greek yogurt to sweeten it) or ezekiel toast with peanut butter in the morning. Still low calorie, but it will help get you through the day and the protein keeps you full. Then it doesn't hit you as bad later in the day. I make these banana greek yogurt flourless oat muffins that are amazing and I eat one almost every morning (only 150 cal per muffin). good luck!
