I notice that whenever I get hungry and I haven't eaten for a while, I get into this funky mood that I just can't shake off. I get light headed, have hard time getting work done and just generally bad attitude.
Normally I am calm, easy going guy but if I dont get a chance to eat lunch I am moody during lunch, and also around 5-6 if I don't have dinner.
This has been bothering me for a while because this is when I lose my cool. I snap at people, get pissed easily and just want to get away and rest and put some food in my stomach.
I don't have diabetes so that shouldn't be a problem.
I am normally in a great mood in the morning till about 11am, and it gets worse as the day goes by, then worst around 5-6pm. Then I have my big dinner and again feel great afterward. My energy level fluctuates throughout the day and I would like to even it out somehow.
Check your blood sugar levels when these situations occur as it sounds like low blood sugar levels,Does your doctor know about these bouts of light headedness. Carry an energy bar for those times you may experience the condition, i like Vector bars..
You may want to frequent a diabetic forum unless you are absolutely sure that diabetes isnt starting to creep into your life.

Any advice?
I graze ~~ every three hours or so ~~ real food / no red meat / no dairy / no fast food / no fake food It works for me
You sound like my fiance, who has reactive hypoglycemia. I definitely agree on the nuts. My fiance always has a baggie or container of almonds with him. Nuts are a great source of portable, emergency protein (as well as a good source of other things).

Wow, I read up on reactive hypoglycemia and that sounds similar to what I experience. I'm 25, 5-10 155 pounds and other wise in great physical condition.
What I do sometimes is eat smaller meal during lunch and that appears to help. Also, less carb and more protein and vegetables helps too. I haven't tried the nuts yet.

May I ask what your fiance does to combat it?
One of my sons has the same problem. The problem with him is he puts off eating meals when he is busy. His blood sugar drops and his disposition changes. He gets moody and critical.
I noticed this in him during his late teens. I often hear from my DIL that he still struggles with the problem and he is in his mid=thirties. What does she do? She tells him to stop being nasty to people and go get something to eat. Works every time. Problem solved.
He's not diabetic nor does he have any health problems. He just needs to eat on a more regular schedule. He does not always listen to the signals though. But all of us who love him know the signs and we make sure to let him know.
