Breakfast
To start your brain and ensure long-lasting energy, try:
- Egg-white omelet breakfast burrito on whole-grain tortilla
- Steel-cut oatmeal with fruit
- Smoked salmon on whole grain bread
- High-fiber muesli with nuts, fruit, and yogurt
Lunch
Fill up without bogging down:
- Eat a salad with meat or fish
- A wrap with vegetables
- Sushi
- Veggies and grains are packed with antioxidants to fight fatigue
Snacks
Sustain energy and focus:
- Eat nuts and berries boost omega-3s and antioxidants
- For something sweet, stick with citrus fruits. They contain pectin fiber, which helps you use the plant sugars slowly--compared with the sugar rush you get from candy.
Dinner
Lay the foundation for a good night's sleep:
- Have a healthful snack before bed--low glucose levels interfere with sleep. So does alcohol. A better bet: chamomile tea, which helps induce sleep as the body cools after drinking.
