I always hear this talk about food coma, but I've never experienced it. Food in theory is supposed to give you energy..

Not when you're digesting.

I guess maybe a combo of bad dietary habits, lack of exercise, or just simply age.

Could also all just be in your head.

You know you are fat when you get tired from your only exercise - chewing food.

I work out nearly every day, am very physically fit, but I notice the same thing after a meal. For me, it's usually lunchtime that I notice it the most.

depends what I am eating. I find carbohydrates in the morning practically put me back to sleep again.
