If you feel tired in the afternoon even when you slept well and ate enough protein, your rushing might be the reason.

If you flipped over a box of Protein Cheerios right now, you'd see 8 grams of protein per serving. Sounds like a win. But to actually hit 25 grams of protein from that box, you'd eat over 3 bowls, consume 37 grams of sugar, and be hungry again by 10am.
