Upping energy levels

Hey guys, I’m trying to feel more energetic, especially in the morning. I wake up around 930 and have a small breakfast (300ish cals) cause that’s all I can stomach in the morning. I go on an hour walk with my dog first thing around 10am. Mid walk I find myself DRAGGING ass. Like my tank is empty, gas light on 😂 I’m wondering if there is any way to fix that, so I’m not so dead in the mornings. Something to wake me up Without the use of caffeine because I have that before work at 2pm. Thank you!

Oura ring accuracy??

How accurate do you think the Oura Ring “total calories burned” is? I’ve never truly tracked at maintenance but would like to! Is this something I could use as a starting point for tracking nutrition at maintenance?

Yuka App

Everyone keeps telling me they use the Yuka app which tells you about harmful ingredients. Do you think people should be using it and if so how and to what extent?

Micro Add-On Weights

Have you ever used micro plates (.5lbs - 2lbs) for progressive overload on lifts that are challenging to progress on? (like DB shoulder raises) Most gyms I've gone to have a few 2.5lbs, but nothing smaller. These at Rogue seem unique in that they could fit on a dumbbell, kettleball, and maybe even a cable system? https://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-add-on-change-plate-pair?sku=AD0131-1.0&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2uiwBhCXARIsACMvIU3gIF1uweSnWOI3cGcbBFXF3v2dvLn4vJbdJpWJPxOviRJfnReQ5gkaAieiEALw_wcB (2.5lb on cable trick?) https://www.tiktok.com/@tylerpath/video/7265729215046192426

Sleeping after late rugby practice

Hi, I'm a rugby player, practice is till 9pm by the time I am home, it is often 10pm or later. I then eat pretty late. I struggle falling asleep and usually don't wake up well rested. Sometimes it's just pain from bruises that keeps me up. But I think the late dinner isn't helping. I tried drinking a protein shake right after practice, but I'm still hungry when I arrive at home. What type of food is best that late and do you have any other tipps for a good night's sleep after a late workout?
