Different foods affect your energy levels in different ways.  High sugary & simple carbohydrate foods generally give you a quick release of sugar into your blood stream, hence a quick release of energy.  After the insulin in your pancreas combats the sugar you are left with a dip in your glucose & energy levels.  This can happen quickly after eating & can therefore make you feel tired, lethargic & hungry.  It is important to ensure every meal is well balanced.  This is especially important for people with diabetes to decrease the risk of having a hypoglycaemic attack.
