Trying to help my moody 5 year old

My daughter always gets moody in the summer because she plays out in the evening with her friends. She is usually pretty bad when she comes out of school so I always have a snack at hand, but she is always really miserable when her friends are round. She is fine until it is time for them to go home and then she starts crying. Last night she cried for ten minutes, and usually she doesn't cry at all.
I am trying to increase the amount of complex carbyhydrates she has in her diet and also give her a bigger snack after school and might try putting more food in her lunch box but it is a real struggle with her. Any suggestions would be very welcome.
