Calories are simply a unit of energy, and your body requires energy all day. If you are about to fall asleep at your desk, that is your signal that you haven’t given your body proper nutrition and energy, so your blood sugar levels have gotten low.

The best thing to do to keep your blood sugar levels consistent all day is to eat smaller, more frequent meals/snacks throughout the day.

You should eat something (not junk food, you have to make good choices) every 3 to 3.5 hours. This gives your body a regular supply of calories, and your energy levels will be the same at 10 AM as they are at 2 PM as they are at 7 PM.

Also, this is the best technique if you want to lose body fat by the way. When you eat only a couple of times per day, you generally take in more calories than your body needs at that time, and any excess calories get stored as fat. Eat smaller portions more frequently and you won’t be giving your body more calories than it needs at that time, thus no extra to store as fat.

Hope that helps,

When you are low on energy at normal times of the day, your body is telling you that you are getting dehydrated. Drinking water is the best way to get your energy back.

Be prepared though, to keep drinking it until you feel energized again. This can be from one to five or six glasses of water, depending on how dehydrated you are.

Give it a try. You’ll be surprised I think at how simple a fix this is!
