Steady energy through the day: a practical guide for women
Fewer afternoon slumps start with the first meal of the day.

Energy dips and evening cravings are common, and they are usually about patterns rather than willpower. A few simple habits make a noticeable difference for many people.
Start with a real breakfast
A breakfast with protein and fibre — yogurt with berries and oats, eggs with whole-grain toast — tends to keep you fuller for longer than a pastry or coffee alone.
Build balanced plates
Half vegetables, a quarter protein, a quarter carbohydrates, plus some healthy fat. It's a flexible template, not a rule.
Plan the afternoon snack
Deciding in advance — fruit with nuts, hummus with vegetables — beats choosing when you're already hungry.
Notice your own patterns
Energy and appetite naturally vary from week to week. Tracking how you feel alongside what you eat helps you spot what works for you.
