Food quantity and timing, saunas, and caffeine regulation.

1. I find the quantity and timing of food is a big deal. Meals that are too large (especially carb-wise) can really mess with my energy levels, especially if its breakfast. This can be tricky to balance though, as hungry energy can exacerbate rabbit-holing issues and possibly protein intake targets.

2. I sauna routinely for 16-20 min and it always has a big impact on my energy levels.

3. I make my own coffee and always measure out precise gram amounts I try to avoid deviating from. Helps me avoid "oh I just need another half cup cause the last one was maybe weak -> caffeine agitation -> crash" cycle (I'm fairly sensitive to caffeine, personally).
