No, are you sure its only chicken and chips lol, its probably more psychological ie after eating them you get reminded of this problem and think 'am I tired now' and so you realise you are tired.

Well I tried..lol

The tiredness could just be cause by consuming a large amount of food.

If its from the chip shop its the monosodium glutamate.

It's interesting that you should have this problem; my dad is allergic to chicken and eggs, incidentally, and always felt very tired after eating either of these foods, so it might be worth getting yourself checked out to see if you're actually allergic to chicken.

idea of poisoning freaks me out. had some belly problem some time ago and someone called me that he'd poisoned me.lol. i was worried at first but found out later that it was my friend who set it up. this tiredness happens anytime and everywhere i eat chicken and chips so it cant be poisoning.
is this climbing a roof a metaphor or something,haha. this room is full of metaphors.if its what im guessing then ive been climbing frequently and lately as im addicted to it really.ive spoken to my GP about my addiction but he prolly thinks its a joke because im the type who jokes a lot so no one seems to listen when im serious. this tiredness comes from the food tho.its after ive eaten chicken and chips.

I always feel lethargic if I've eaten something particularly unhealthy.

your body uses all its energy to digest the chicken and chips so less oxygen goes to the brain so you feel sleepy. happens alot, especially after greasy meals coz they're harder to digest. eat lettuce as a dessert, it helps.

Chicken is Wicked!!!!!!!!! :biggrin: sorry, i actually got an obsession with chicken!
Anyways, ummmm maybe it's due to the fact that its heavy, coz of all the oils and stuff...juz makes u tired? does other fried food have the same effect?
