when i havent eaten for 12 hours or something (duno the exact amount i dont time it lol) i sometimes get kind of shakey. Is this normal?
not exactly the most pressing of matters as it has happened for quite a long time, just something i was wondering.
thx in advance for any info ;p
(its one of those things that's hard to google so i'll let the medical experts here answer it

Its your body's way of telling you it needs fuel, ie, food!!!
Same here. I sometimes used to get migraines as well.
By becoming shaky your body is trying to protect itself from you pushing it to hard without proper nutrition. Its like a car engine going funny as it runs out of fuel.
Listen to what your body is telling you.
i try to, though i also try to save money for summer e.g buy less shopping while i still have to pay for it!
hehe but she doesnt like to give me money that only gets spent on alcohol ;p
Things like pasta, jacket potatoes, curries etc are all good budget food, and you can cook a load in advance to keep you going for a few days. Slow-energy release foods, such as bananas/oats (porridge is VERY cheap!) would also help to sustain your energy levels over a longer period of time.
