skip the oj--lots of acidity. skip the milk--dairy will make you congested

clear broth and plenty of fluids; plain crackers.

I was going to say chocolate milk too and I disagree with this. Milk may make YOU congested, but it doesn't have that effect on everyone.

very oddly - I have found fish sauce helpful at times like these - some Vietnamese vermicelli with fish sauce. I'm not south east asian, but I have found that flavor very helpful.

If you are light headed and shaky because you haven't eaten for a while and are ill, sweetened tea or flat soda.

If you are lightheaded and shaky because you are overweight and dieting and haven't eaten for a bit, wait it out. Your body doesn't know how to easily switch to metabolizing fat and it is complaining about learning.

If you are simply short calories, eat protein. Greek yogurt--unsweetened or with fruit, meat, nuts, cheese.

If you are diabetic and on meds, take your blood sugar. If under 70, or under 80 and you feel bad, eat a protein-carb snack such as a few pb crackers, a pudding cup, or half a meat sandwich. Drink 4-6 oz of regular soda or fruit juice. Let your MD know so you can adjust your meds if this happens frequently.
