7 Foods That Drain Your Energy

2. Breakfast Cereals, Yogurts and Other Foods With Added Sugars

Breakfast cereals, flavored yogurt, muffins and foods that contain a high amount of added sugars can zap your energy levels rather than boost them. This combination of high sugar and low fiber content can spike blood sugar and insulin levels, leading to a rise in energy, followed by a crash.

They may also increase your cravings for other sugary foods, which can create a vicious, energy-draining cycle.
