These are the four types of foods that are the key to more energy, according to experts. But there are also some foods that nutritionists say can boost your energy if you do need a pick-me-up. Complex carbohydratesSimple carbohydrates, including white bread, quickly break down into sugar and instantly lead to spikes in your blood sugar, Dr. Nancy Rahnama, an internist and clinical nutritionist, told CNBC Make It in January of 2023. Having complex carbs for breakfast can help you feel energized throughout the day, registered dietitian Maya Feller told CNBC Make It last year. It turns out that eating foods high in fiber at the very top of your day can be a great hack for more energy, according to Rahnama.

Most of us reach for a mug when our battery is low, and often, it's filled with a caffeinated drink like coffee or black tea. "If you were to have a cup of coffee, then you have this high. But just like anything else that goes really really high, it then eventually drops," says Rahnama. "So, then the person is going to go and have their second cup of coffee." And the cycle typically repeats throughout the day.
If cereal is your go-to breakfast, you may be lowering your energy levels before your day has even started. Eating cereals that are high in sugar, and other simple carbohydrates like white bread that immediately break down into sugar, will lead to an instant spike in your blood sugar, according to Dr. Nancy Rahnama, an internist and clinical nutritionist. "And anything that spikes is going to crash," Rahnama tells CNBC Make It. "This high-end crash and burn throughout the day leads to fatigue, irritability, changes in the mood, headaches, hunger [and] cravings." High-glycemic carbohydrates, also known as simple carbs, can affect how refreshed and alert you feel in the morning, too, if you eat them for breakfast, says Raphael Vallat, a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Human Sleep Science at U.C.
At least once a day, Nancy Rahnama’s clinical nutrition practice in Beverly Hills, Calif., gets a call from a patient looking for a diabetes drug that they’ve heard can help them lose weight fast. “They specifically say, ‘How much is it to get Ozempic?’” Dr. Rahnama said.
