[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1049354, member: 211504"] It's not how many calories you're eating in total, but rather how long you're going without protein. Whey and egg protein is digested very quickly and excess is usually converted into glucose (gluconeogenesis). Consequently, you can't eat 100g of protein for breakfast and expect it to last you throughout the day. In contrast, casein (milk) protein digests much slower which is why many athletes drink casein protein before bed. Even though I eat around 3000 calories/day, I start to have similar symptoms just before lunch time. It can be especially noticeable after working out, or in your case, possibly a busy morning.
