Hi all,

I lift when I get home from work and I'm really lacking energy. When I'm lifting my energy level just drops towards the middle of a set and I just feel like I'm running on empty. I'm pressing or squatting etc. and I just don't have it. I keep trying to cut out more and more of the junk I'm eating during the week and now I don't eat any junk on the days that I lift. I also started taking Nano Vapor and caffeine pills before/during my workouts in an attempt to boost my energy levels. In the beginning the Nano Vapor felt good and I think was really helping me with my energy level but now I think it might be having the opposite effect. I think the caffeine pills are helping so I'll try cutting out the Nano Vapor and trying just the caffeine alone.

Here is what I typically eat on a work day when I lift in the evening. Any help would really be appreciated because I am really struggling to stay on my diet, make sure I get enough protein and have energy for lifting when I get home from work.
