    What is the best way to keep your energy levels consistent if you want to work out 3/4 times a wk. I do the whole 3 healthy meals thing, fruit, veg all that and have good fitness but I'm always knackered and just feel kinda on edge the whole time. If I eat somethin fattenin every couple of days my energy levels are way better. I don't really wanna do this as the ol' jeans don't fit so well then but I don't want to be drained the whole time either. Is there a healthier alternative. I was gonna post in nutrition but wasn't really sure so hopefully someone can give me some tips or advice. thanks

    1) Outline your diet:

    e.g.
    8am - porridge
    10am - apple
    etc

    2) What do you do during these workouts 3/4 times a week?

    3) How much sleep are you getting? Since you are posting at 00:36 then maybe not enough?

    lol well spotted...well i get about 8 hrs a night but i wake up hungry a lot.
    Breakfast: porridge, banana, cup of green tea
    Lunch: tuna salad sandwich, yoghurt
    Dinner: Usually pasta and chicken or stir fry
    Snacks: Ryvita, fruit, nuts.
    I try to run for 30-40 mins and then spend a further 10-15 mins on a bike or treadmill. I don't really feel tired when I run, just in kind of autopilot but afterwards I'll notice my energy levels fairly low. Hope that's enough info..
