A balance of nutrients is really what's going to give you sustained energy because your body digests protein, fats and carbohydrates differently. In other words, you can eat them all at the same time but they are all going to be processed differently. Carbohydrates start being digested in your mouth, protein starts in your stomach and fat doesn't start until it reaches your intestines. That's why foods that are combinations of nutrients give you sustained energy.
1. Nuts
2. Whole-grain pasta
3. Turkey or peanut butter on whole-grain bread
If you eat a sandwich in the morning for breakfast made up of protein, carbohydrate and a little fat, you will make it to your next meal without being hungry. But if you eat only carbohydrates in the morning without anything else (like a doughnut), chance are you'll be hungry in a few hours.
