Lifehacker had an interesting article today about how to maximize your energy levels while eating healthy. The highlights are below:
1. Structure your daily diet like a pyramid (big breakfast, medium lunch, small dinner- snacks throughout)
2. Eat protein early on (eggs, protein shake, yogurt)
3. Eat low glycemic foods (vegetables, whole grains, meat, milk, nuts, and eggs) for breakfast and early snacking
4. Eat frequently (every 2-3 hours)
5. Stop dehydrating yourself (more water!)
6. Track energy levels (I don't do this because it just feels weird writing down "I'm tired" all of the time)
I thought it was an interesting spin, and I didn't know what a "glycemic" food was or how it would affect me. Makes sense- eating pasta/carbs early on in the day makes you sleepy...
