Check how the whole meal lands
Food is one part of energy. Notice meal timing, sleep and symptoms together rather than assigning the result to one nutrient.
Track: energy 1–3 hours later
Headaches
Add hydration and timing
Headaches have many possible causes. Record hydration, meals, sleep and severity, and seek care for concerning patterns.
Track: timing + hydration
