Yeah, it happens to me.

I'm working the TNT Plan A right now, but here goes:

On my lifting days, I do my rep/sets fasted (because eating before makes me nauseous). It's usually short (20-30 mins) but leg-shaking intense, then I stretch/foam roll and have a shower.

Within an hour, I have a protein shake, supergreens (and/or sometimes eggs) and straighten up my exercise area. Then back to my job at the computer.

Invariably, within an hour, my energy drops and I feel like I need a solid nap. I walk around to get my energy going, but I have to wonder at the energy drop.

And yes, I could take a caffeinated diet soda or coffee, but I just wanna know why I feel this way.
