This sounds like a blood sugar crash (hypoglycemic).  It is VERY important
to eat the right foods for breakfast.  High-fat, medium-to-high protein; you
don't
need really a lot of food.  If I eat anything starchy or sweet for breakfast, I
can get
one of those attacks of the shakes.  Also, caffeine can cause a sugar crash.
If I eat paleo, I'm fine even if I happen to skip a meal.

Good luck,
