Often I have found lunch to be the culprit for feeling tired at 2-3. Once I limited my carb intake during lunch my afternoon slumps stopped.

  Second this. It's my anecdotal experience that the trend of people 'feeling tired all the time' in modern American society is a result of the extremely large caloric intake that's become common for most meals.

    I'm actually surprised tech companies that provide free food don't actively try to limit carby/sugary offerings. Even things like cereal+milk are just glorified candy bars (nutritionally speaking).

      I think it comes down to a combination of money and perishability. Healthy food is expensive and perishable. Carby snacks are cheap and have a long shelf life.

    Interesting. I'm actually starting paleo today which is super low carb so I'll report back if that helps also.
