Carbs, of course.  But you want the complex carbs (those that are not processed) vs. simple carbs (pastries, sugary cereals,  pancakes, candy, so-called energy bars which are nothing but candy, etc.). Examples of complex carbs are (whole grain and bran cereals, fresh fruit, whole grain toast, oatmeal, fresh fruit juice.  A healthy breakfast would be whole grain toast with peanut butter, raisins and a small amount of  unprocessed local honey.  The raisins and honey will give you the boost you need for the first part of the day and the peanut butter gives the protein to maintain it.  Then snack on fruit and nuts in the pm.

It's not what time you eat, but it's what kind of food you consume. You don't need to consume heavy things (bread, beef) at night because if you're trying to lose weight, it won't work. Eat something light.\n\nIf it's your first day back, still eat something light, or have a nice meal in between time.

Going to sleep early will help to reset your clock. Don't go home [or to work] without doing at least 30 minutes vigorous exercise.  Although it feels like you don't have the energy for it now, in a few weeks you will feel stronger, more energetic and will even have the desire to do more in the evening. Going to bed early (8:30-9:30) is so KEY.  \nDrink orange juice and eat a banana around 1:30 in the afternoon and that will give you the boost to make it through. Orange juice spikes your blood sugar, so don't overdo it.  \nAlso, check out at the drug store (Wal-mart, Walgreens, CVS, Rite-Aid, etc.) some packets called Emergen-C. They are a life saver and give me better energy without a crash or side effects ~ I used to be a coffee and green tea drinker.  \nOrganize your tasks, too if you can to do the boring things first thing in the morning.\nGood luck to you!

Protein and carbohydrates.  Eat a medium meal, you want energy, but not a lot of sugar.

You should excerise regularly and try to go to bed at a decent time.  Its not always easy with kiddos but making time for yourself to go for a run or go to the gym!  You will notice the difference in energy.    And a little coffee now and then won't hurt!

Also, don't get hung up on "typical" breakfast foods.  Try a chicken breast left over from the night before, a piece of wheat toast with peanut butter or a toasted english muffin.  Small snacks every two hours keep the metabolism running higher as well.

eat more fruit during the day, and less soda/coffee.  this helps to keep you awake, and when those after 5 endorphins kick in, it's all the more energy to play with!  for lunch try a spinach / romaine lettuce salad with strawberries and red grapes with kraft's sun-dried tomato dressing--snacks of apples and yogurt...yum!

I know what you mean, I always miss breakfast because I don't feel like I need it, but it's meant to help you and aid weight loss too!!  A healthy breakfast can be anything basically, a good quality cereal (nothing with sugar coating, or choc etc), scrambled egg on toast, yoghurt and banana, toast and marmalade with fresh orange juice.  To be honest, breakfast is probably the easiest meal of the day to create, cos there are so many quick, easy and healthy options.

Get plenty of sleep and work out regularly. \n\nSeriously, if you have a steady work out for about an hour a day (the morning is the best) you will have so much energy and it will keep you going all day. When I first started working out, I did it in the evening after work and I was up all night.

You gotta be serious with your breakfast. It is the most important meal in a day because you blood sugar level is low when you just wake up. You will need a hearty meal or at least some food to pump up your blood sugar to ensure your organs can funtion well. For instants, your brain can funtion better rather than suffering from some morning sickness. It is also said that having breakfast do have an impact in contolling body weight!

usually, the more you sleep, the more tired you are, the more sleepy... but if you have been staying up late or working hard this week or so, i think your body is still trying to recharge, try to get some rest, not sleep, this afternoon (because the week-end is still far). a hot bath, some relaxing music, a light healthy meal, then sleep 7 hours, and tomorrow morning, with a healthy breakfast, you will be fresher than ever!!

A good balanced breakfast including protein and vegetables. Eggs, V8 juice, vegetable quiches are all good choices to give you energy and help you stay healthy. Some multigrain toasted bread is great too.

It is very important to eat breakfast, especially if you are trying to loose weight. Eating breakfast speeds up you metabolism for the day, and if consumed regularly can speed up your metabolism all together.\n\nEven though you may not feel hungry in the morning it is important to "break the fast" that you have just gone through due to sleep.\n\nIf you eat a good healthy breakfast you will find yourself having more energy, and therefore burning off more kilojoules. You will also find that you will need less to eat at lunch and dinner because you started the day with a proper meal.\n\nThis is very important as much of the energy we receive from lunch and dinner can not be burnt off as quickly as breakfast. It sounds silly but the earlier you eat your food for the day the better. This increases the amount of time your body has to burn off the excess energy. \n\nI suggest yogurts with no added sugar, and with less fat helps. Another often is muesli - not cereal. Many of these are full of sugar. Also be careful to make sure the muesli or bran you have is not toasted and does not have added sugar or honey. But as I said, yogurt and fruit is the best option.\n\nStay away from juices also, try to stick to water. Hope this helps!\n\nAnother tip which you may find helpful - smaller serving sizes will help you eat less. As does eating slowly. Your brain can take up to 20 minutes to register that you are full and have had enough. American serves of food are usually around 3 times what is needed for a healthy meal.\n\nEat smaller, eat slower and you will eat less.  Good luck :)

TEA. Hot, sometimes w/o sugar, sometimes with turbinado sugar. Sometimes room~temperature, when I find a cup sitting around that I have abandoned. I drink tea all day long into the night. It never keeps me up. It never helps wake me up to begin with. All it seems to do is ward off a hella~caffiene~withdrawal headache. I like tea.

I'm not a nutritionist but I have Crohn's disease and spent enough time with mine to give you a few choices. First any kind of starch,like rice , noodles, bread,potatoes, etc.,they turn into glucose and give you energy fast. Fruit is good also for a quick energy boost. A lot of people say candy or sodas they are good for a quick boost, but really bad for you. You need protein for energy and it also helps keep your muscles going. I hope this helps.
