Eating a heavy lunch before laying carpet is just plain dumb.

I keep watching installers load up on fried food at noon and then struggle through the afternoon stretch. Your body needs to move, not digest a giant meal. One time, a guy on my team ate a full rack of ribs and could barely bend over to fit the padding. Stick to something simple like a sandwich or a salad. You'll feel better and get the job done faster. I don't care how good the diner is, save it for quitting time.

That food coma costs you real money on the clock.

Bro a FULL rack of ribs?? That's actually insane, I can't even picture trying to work after that. Dude must have been staggering around like he was drunk. Seriously though, the heat alone from being on your knees all afternoon after that meal sounds like a punishment. You're 100% right, keep it light and crush the work.

Staggering around like he was drunk" is the perfect way to put it.
