While most of us suffer from fatigue some of the time, there are millions who suffer from it all of the time. Exhaustion is one of the most common complaints brought to doctors. According to a recent National Sleep Foundation poll, one in five Americans say they're so sleepy during the day it interferes with their activities.
Breakfast should account for 25 percent of the day’s calories, but foods you choose can make the difference between a good day and a so-so day, skipping breakfast is like trying to drive a car without gas. People who run short on time or say they’re not hungry in the morning should still plan to eat breakfast, which is considered most beneficial when eaten within a few hours after waking.
The right combination of carbohydrates, protein and fat eaten at regular intervals will help keep energy levels high.
Eating healthy snacks will help keep your blood-sugar levels even so that you don’t have energy 'highs' and 'lows'. It is suggested to eat every three to four hours to keep your energy level from falling.
Not drinking enough liquids can cause you to feel fatigued due to dehydration. That's why this breakfast plan includes fruit juices and skim milk with every meal choice, rather than ultra-sugary sodas or sweetened beverages that can cause energy lows.
Eating fried or fatty foods can make you feel sluggish. The following is a food plan that will keep you feeling good by eating well with no fuss, unprocessed foods.
Option 1
Plain fat-free yogurt with low-sugar granola and fresh fruit like berries
Small glass of orange juice
Option 2
2-egg omelette made with low-fat cottage cheese chopped veggies and low-fat ham or turkey
1 slice wholegrain toast topped with a low sugar fruitspread Small cup grapefruit juice
Option 3
Shredded wheat cereal with skim milk and a banana
1 slice whole wheat toast with no sugar peanut butter
Small glass tomato juice
Supplementing your diet with vitamins especially B vitamins can enhance your energy levels.

Mother knew best when she constantly nagged you about eating breakfast before school. You might not have noticed, but if you didn’t eat breakfast as a kid you would have trouble concentrating in class, and be irritable and tired the whole day. It is very easy to skip breakfast with our fast paced lifestyles today but a healthy breakfast fuels you up and gets you ready for a hectic day. If your idea of breakfast is grabbing a fountain soda from the local convenience store then you should read on.
Research has proven that children do better in school if they start the day with a healthy breakfast and the same is true for adults in the workplace. A breakfast of champions includes complex carbohydrates (cereal, oatmeal), protein (hard boiled egg, cottage cheese, lox), and a small amount of fat (butter, nuts). If breakfast makes your stomach churn, try eating two small snacks about 1-2 hours apart. Avoid sugary cereal, donuts, syrups and white breads because they’re digested quickly and will leave you feeling hungry before lunch time. On the other hand, protein and fiber satisfy hunger and keep you feeling full.
According to a marketing research group, the most popular breakfast is cereal followed by coffee then fruit juice. Most people would rather sleep than prepare breakfast so they don’t even have time for cereal, anymore. So, cereal companies have been marketing to meal skippers and “to go” eaters with cereal bars. The time it takes to get kids ready for school in the morning is another common excuse for foregoing breakfast. An easy solution would be to prepare meals the night before and reevaluate your morning routine.
Most people skip breakfast to lose weight but that is actually counter productive. Skipping breakfast increases the chances of a heart attack as well as obesity and diabetes.
Also, eating at the beginning of the day stabilizes blood sugar levels, which regulates appetite and energy. It also helps you maintain a healthy weight. So, go ahead and have breakfast! Your body will thank you in the long run.
