So we had tinned salmon fishcakes last week, proper cheap to make, and I bulked them out with mashed potato and a bit of frozen sweetcorn. Kids ate them, husband ate them, I ate them and didn't feel ravenous by 9pm for once. That is genuinely rare in this house. I've been trying to sneak more protein into dinners without making two separate meals or spending a fortune, because we are not a household that can do the fancy stuff. Eggs, tinned fish, lentils, chicken thighs when they're on offer. Nothing exciting but it seems to be helping with the 4pm slump that was absolutely flooring me. Also started doing a little walk after dinner, just ten minutes round the block while my husband does the dishes (finally). I don't know if it's doing anything but I feel less like I'm going to fall asleep on the sofa before the kids are even in bed. GP appointment coming up and I want to ask about bloodwork because my energy has been all over the place for months. Does anyone know what's actually worth asking for? I keep reading about ferritin and B12 but I don't want to go in and sound like I've just been on Google for three hours (even though I have). x
