Mich Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Hi, It's day 25 and the last 2 days I have felt very tired. Got home from work yesterday and slept for an hour. Got up for about 2 hours and then went back to bed and still tired this morning. I'm thinking maybe I'm not eating enough but when I look at the meals it looks fine to me. I am wondering if someone can provide some advice. Here's my food for the last few days: Brekky - salmon cakes, mayo and sunflower sprouts, avocado Lunch - salmon cakes, mayo and sunflower sprouts, avocado, tomato, baby spinach, carrots Dinner - Steak with mocha rub, green beans, broccoli with some olive oil and lemon dressing. Brekky - 3 egg omelette with spinach and mushrooms and a sausage Morning Tea (at a birthday celebration) - strawberries, guacamole and carrots Lunch - Big green salad, roast pumpkin, avocado, egg and 2 x sausages (lamb and rosemary, my favourite). Dinner - 'The best chicken you will ever eat (by Melissa "Melicious" Joulwan) and a green salad and some avocado. Brekky - salmon cakes and avocado Lunch - left over 'the best ever chicken you will eat', salad, avo and dressing. Dinner - chocolate chill with some baby spinach and avocado tossed in. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Problem with being tired is that I start to think about carbs (bread) to boost me up.

Moderators Tom Denham Posted September 11, 2012 Moderators Share Posted September 11, 2012 The only meal where I can see the volume you are eating is the breakfast with 3 eggs, veggies, and a sausage. That one looks good. If you are having a palm-size portion of protein, a thumb-size portion of fat and fill your plate with veggies, your volume would be okay. What I see very little of is starchy, carb-rich food. Try adding a sweet potato, butternut squash, or turnips on a daily basis. You may find eating more carb-rich veggies give you a lot more energy.

Mich Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Thanks Tom. I think you have given me that advice before. Had my lunch early (10.45am) because I was hungry and have just had an early afternoon snack of sweet potato. It does feel like something I needed.

Amy Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I am going through this exact thing. Today is my Day 25 and I have taken naps after work the last two days. I mean, I've come home, went straight to bed and fell asleep within minutes. I've set the alarm so I wouldn't sleep all evening. And I'm tired in the mornings. But it just started 3 days ago. I'm going to add some more food and see if that helps. Any excuse to add a sweet potato works for me! Hope you've pushed through it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
