I just discovered an interesting fact about protein. I discovered it while reading The Protein Counter.

Research shows that a meal high in protein helps to keep you awake and alert, while a meal high in carbohydrate tends to make you sleepy.

This is interesting.

I know a lot of people that seems to be tired all day, especially a few at work. I might advice them to start eating more protein, just as an experiment. And then after a few weeks, I’ll let you know if they have become more awake and alert.
