Need..energy...h..e..l..p...
Hey Guys. Doing well gaining muscle back and blowing off the fat afetr a LONG hiatus from working out, BUT I just don't seem to have enough energy! I hit the wall early in the evening. I eat 6 times daily, supplement, etc. Do I need more low GI carbs? If so what time should I get them? Should I get more protien? I shhot for 1g/per lb..would more/less of anything help? Any one? Help me wake up!

Hi Leslie. thanks. 6'2, large frame, 331 lbs at BF in the high teens. Male, If ya hadn't figured that out.
I combine protien and carbs at each meal (Body for Life, style)
I'm guessing the culprit may be the quality of my carbs, as I don't yet get in many grains etc.
A typical meal while at work would be a chicken breast and a NF yougurt, or a chick sandwich on whole grain wheat, with a MRP shake for the next meal. I'm limited to what I can grab quick from a lunch box.

My best guess from your limited info here is you're right...add low in EFA's and most likely too low in calories and there's your problem!
It would help if you could post meal by meal w/ serving sizes. Welcome to IM!
