I am used to eating 500 calories a day, only once a day, and felt better and had more energy. My workout times have to vary depending on my day. I don't sleep well at night so am workouts are hard because I wake up tired. What are your thoughts on this?

I also noticed that the more water I take in, the better I sleep. On the flip side. I also find that more water in the day makes me feel tired, slugish and ready to sleep. I am not sure what is going on but am glade you asked the question and look for others to comment as well.
