Eat Your Way to a High-Energy Workday [Energy]

A significant number of people, in the U.S. especially, eat lightly (if at all) in the morning, heavier in the afternoon, and top the day off with a hearty dinner (and dessert). The problem with this method is that it deprives you of food when you need it most, and loads it on when you need it least. When you wake up in the morning, 6-8 hours without food or water is when you would most benefit from a hearty meal, not when you're cruising towards bed time. When planning your meals for the day, visualize them like a pyramid—not the food pyramid, although knowing more about that certainly helps. Consider your day like building a pyramid of food. Breakfast is the base—large and filling—and your evening snack is the tiny tip. Photo by Yasin Hassan.
