you've probably heard this one before, but exercise definitely helps. sometimes when i'm really low energy i just go outside and the fresh air helps - a little walk around the block.

in terms of food - watch the post-sugar slumps and eat lots of low-fat protein as well as unrefined carbs (oats, brown rice, whole wheat)

caffeine can cause a slump, too. i drink tea now out of preference.

sleep

also, just notice what does give you energy? in the moments when you have it, what has happened right before that? i get it from chatting with friends, being outside, and exercising.

best of luck!

protein will be great for energy! plus protein builds muscle, muscle burns fat, SO i've heard

I feel for you, there are times when i have no energy as well!!
