If you’re feeling tired all the time, your food choices might be part of the problem. What you eat affects how steady your energy is through the day.

What to eat for steady energy

• Complex carbs like oats or wholemeal bread
• Protein from eggs, chicken, tofu or beans
• Healthy fats from nuts, seeds and avocado
• Plenty of fruit and veg for vitamins and minerals

What to avoid

• Sugary snacks that cause a quick spike then a crash
• Too much caffeine late in the day
• Skipping meals and then overeating

A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that balanced meals with low glycemic index carbs help keep energy steady.
