Answers:
I've heard that you get tired after you eat cause it takes more of your energy to digest the food.Health Question & Answer

carbs tend to make us sleepy. and since you're vegetarian i would guess the majority of your nutrient intake is carb based.

stay away from sugars as well. they make us crash.

i would also venture to assume that your calories are too low. without knowing your weight, a good rule of thumb to maintain your weight is your bodyweight * 12 = daily caloric intake. Do the math and see where you are.
