I am a big believer that food effects our mood, our energy levels, etc. I find that when I get too much sugar  I get really tired and out of it. I also find this happens when I don't drink enough.
What are some foods you find give you energy? I find water gives me energy! I find eating small amounts instead of big meals gives me energy. I don't have any specific foods that are energy boosters though...that's where you come in! If you have any foods that you find help give you extra energy, please share!
Thanks everyone!

My favorite food for perking me up and not "weighing me down" and when I want something I can enjoy but want to know it is totally safe, plus it's completely balanced nutrition, little of everything in this:
big bowl of rice chex, with soy milk (as low fat as I can find), with a whole sliced ripe (soft) banana, and raisins mixed in. I can tolerate raisins and actually need a little of that kind of thing being C, but have to have all that soluble fiber to counter it. Anyway, it's light and packs a punch for energy, at least for me!

Hi Ruchie-
What interesting timing (for me!). Last night I made and ate milk gravy (something I haven't had in forever, but was craving after making bacon for the family). I've felt sluggish and like crap ever since. You know what, it didn't even taste that great. I don't know what I was thinking. I've been under a lot of stress lately and just wanted some comfort food - lapse in judgment. I'm going to put this thread in My Favorites so I can keep abreast of any ideas anyone has! Sorry I couldn't be of help! However, I totally agree about the water. If I don't drink enough water in a day, I don't feel great. I've read that the body is typically dehydrated and that if you feel thirsty that is a sign of dehydration. Good luck and keep the fluids going.
