I didn’t eat all of the vegetables I was supposed today and it really made a difference in my energy level by the middle-to late in the day.  And I was ravenous by the time I started making dinner.  I think I took in too little protein as well.  Eating a fair share of each is important.  The last time I ate too little I felt the same as I do today.  I’m paying closer attention to the foods I eat and how it affects me.

So, if I eat plenty of egg whites, lean protein, apples, and broccoli I do really well throughout the day.  Those foods worked the best for me.  If I keep eating those, I’ll be an vegetarian apple laying chicken soon.

But, variety is important, so when I go out grocery shopping I’ll be sure to buy enough foods to experiment with and see what works to maintain my energy and keep my appetite satisfied.
