Yoghurt
Not only is yogurt a good source of protein, it also contains beneficial bacteria called probiotics that help strengthen immunity by balancing intestinal flora. The probiotics in yogurt can help fight chronic fatigue. Because of its soft texture, yogurt is processed rapidly by the body, making it great for a quick energy boost. For optimal results, choose plain, unsweetened white yogurt with live bacterial cultures.
Dark Leafy Greens
Dark leafy greens are rich in iron. The essential mineral is responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs throughout the body. A deficiency in iron can lead to anaemia -- a condition that causes chronic fatigue. Other foods rich in iron include iron fortified cereals, beef, dried fruits and beans.
Green Tea
Not only is green tea loaded with antioxidants and is a terrific addition to any weight-loss program, it also contains natural caffeine that fights fatigue, meaning that it mimics the same feelings you get from coffee. Turn to green to keep energy levels up.

Wheat Bran Cereal
High fibre foods move slower through the digestive system, and therefore keep you fuller and more energetic for longer. Studies have shown that people have a ten percent increase in energy after increasing their fibre intake. Besides keeping you more awake, it also helps fight fat!
Watermelon
The reason for your fatigue might be as simple as dehydration. People feel tired when they do not get water-rich foods and fluids, and may have difficulty concentrating. Opt a for a snack with high water content like a slice of watermelon. The best news is: water-dense foods won’t pack on the pounds!
