Don't worry about your energy, they wont just dip and leave your lifeless lol. Slow digesting carbohydrates (typically your healthy nutrition rich carbohydrates) will keep your blood sugar leveled and your energy being consistently supplied. Plus, you'll be preoccupied with your work ...
Then go home and get the dinner you have earned lol sounds like a plan to me. And well done : )
