Hi All,

Whenever I eat real food protein like chicken, I feel noticeably sleepy afterwards. I just had only three bites of chicken and I want to nap. Is there some physiological process going on here? It doesn't happen with the protein shakes.

TIA,

Pennie

Hi Pennie, I notice that I feel a little more sluggish after eating. This morning it happened after a protein drink as well. Maybe our systems just have a more difficult time digesting right now. I don't feel like napping, but I do feel a bit of an energy drain. Eating is seeming like a chore these days. Hungry and need to eat but never know how I'll feel afterwards.
