Listening To Your Body To Get More Energy!

It is surprising the amount of energy it takes the body to process cretin types of food. What is even more surprising is the impact that is has on everything else. Needless to say, burning that much energy can alter your mood and adjust your outlook on things. In short it can mess you up. Poor choices over the weekend during a 16 hour security class/seminar reminded me how important eating the right fuel is.

Saturday I had a limited breakfast. For lunch they provided chips, white bread sandwiches, cookie things and water. To top it off I had a burger and fries from McDonalds for dinner. I know, horrible! That night I paid the price with a total crash and burn. Sunday I tried to move back to the norm with oat meal/flax  for breakfast and an apple as a snack. Sadly, lunch came around and I lost my will power and had a little too much of the pizza and chips that they ordered.  Dinner was chicken with a lower carb/low sugar BBQ sauce and a salad. That nights energy level wasn't as bad as the night before.
