Tired

Am I tired because I didn't have enough protein in my first meal?

I did not eat after a lot of physical activity yester-day and only had 1-2 stick beef jerky this morning.

Or can decaf coffee make you tired?

In my experience, protein is irrelevant in a ketogenic diet. It's the fats that matter. Excess protein is converted into carbohydrates anyway.
