Beat the slump with these simple expert-based tweaks to your daily diet.<\/em>
<\/p>\n\n\n

Call it what you want to call it\u2014exhaustion, burnout<\/a>, low energy\u2014feeling sleepy and sluggish doesn\u2019t feel good. Fatigue looks different for everyone. You may lack the motivation you once had to work out or play with your kids, while others may struggle to focus at work or while catching up with friends.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Although there are many causes of low energy levels, ranging from stress and medical issues to a sedentary lifestyle, one thing can almost always impact how you feel: your diet. \u201cWhat we put in our bodies is the fuel that directly impacts our energy levels, for better or for worse,\u201d says Maggie Moon, MS, RD<\/a>, a Los Angeles-based registered dietitian and author of a new book, The MIND Diet<\/a>. \u201cHeavy meals, unbalanced meals, skipping meals, alcohol<\/a>, caffeine, and glucose-spiking snacks can leave people feeling sluggish.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

The good news, according to Moon, is that you don\u2019t have to overhaul your entire diet to shake off exhaustion. \u201cSmall positive shifts in what, when, and how much we eat can mean the difference between feeling drained and having sustained energy so we can feel our best.\u201d These are the expert-backed diet strategies that Moon and other diet experts say can make the biggest impact.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

5 Tips for More Energy. Plus, Recipe Ideas to Help Boost Your Health<\/h2>\n\n\n

1. Don\u2019t Skip Meals\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve ever worked through lunch or didn\u2019t have enough time to grab breakfast<\/a>, you already know missing a meal can leave you feeling hangry. But what you may not realize is that it can also make you feel really tired, research<\/a> shows. On the flip side, regularly eating healthy meals and snacks throughout the day has the opposite effect, Moon says, explaining that it \u201censures you\u2019re regularly refueling your brain and body with the nutrients it needs to perform.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

To maintain your energy levels, she recommends eating three balanced meals a day, along with a couple of small snacks in between. But everyone is different. \u201cSome people thrive on fewer large meals or more frequent small meals\u2014see what works for you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

2. Add Some Energy-Boosting Recipes to Your Weekly Rotation<\/h3>\n\n\n

Regardless of how many meals or snacks you have, the goal should be to consume a balanced mix of nutrients regularly throughout the day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Moon says every meal or snack should include complex carbohydrates for quick energy, as well as lean protein<\/a> and healthy fats<\/a> for sustained energy. \u201cA simple way to build a balanced meal is to fill half a plate or bowl with colorful vegetables cooked or drizzled with olive oil, then split the rest<\/a> between whole grains, like quinoa or brown rice, and a protein like fish, chicken, tofu, or beans,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
