What is your actual diet like? I would also try to add in more complex carbs (try an oatmeal for breakfast with a bunch of fruit in it) and then more protein and healthy fats/oils (nuts such as almonds, eggs, lean beef and chicken, mediterranean dishes using olive oil and other oils, lentils/beans).
As far as an electrolyte drink, you can buy the powdered gatorade in the stores. Most bottled drinks are hypotonic (ie - the osmolarity, or concentration of electrolytes, is less than that of blood). If you are feeling rather depleted, with the powder you can make it as concentrated as you want. It is also going to net you more gatorade in terms of fluid for the price than if you buy it premixed.
