Many people experience a loss of energy after lunch, drowsiness, and loss of concentration. This is not “laziness”, but a consequence of poor nutrition. Energy does not depend on the amount of food, but on its composition and regimen. Having learned to eat right, you will be able to stay energetic until the evening.

First, do not skip breakfast. It “starts” the metabolism. Skipping breakfast leads to sugar surges and fatigue. The ideal breakfast: protein + complex carbohydrates. For example: oatmeal with nuts and an egg, whole grain toast with avocado and a poached egg.
Avoid fast carbohydrates for breakfast: sweet cereals, buns, jam. They give a short-term burst of energy, followed by a failure. Instead – oatmeal, buckwheat, quinoa, whole grain bread.
Lunch should be balanced: protein (chicken, fish, beans), vegetables (fresh or stewed), cereals (buckwheat, quinoa, brown rice). Avoid fatty, fried foods – they require a lot of energy to digest and cause drowsiness.
Drink water throughout the day. Dehydration is the main culprit of fatigue. Even 2% fluid loss reduces concentration and endurance. Carry a bottle with you, drink regularly.
