What To Eat? (1 Viewer)

[flyingdown]

I have the 2U Maths HSC on Monday (accelerated). Usually I just skip breakfast, but people have been telling me that my brain needs food to function better before the exam.

I didn't eat anything before the Prelims and did well and wasn't feeling hungry or anything.

Any suggestions?

Well if you're used to eating nothing, your brain is probably running off your fat reserves. This isn't as effective as supplying it with a decent breakfast, as this provides it with energy much more efficiently in the form of glucose. I'd say if you don't feel like eating anything heavy, have one of those liquid meals, or just a thin layer of whatever spread you like on a piece of toast or two.

The brain only uses glucose for fuel and carbohydrates are converted to glucose most efficiently, so eat some carbs, weet bix is good!!

If ur not used to anything how about even a glass of milo?

Muffins and tea.

Umm don't drink V, diuretic= needing to pee half way through exam.

I'm personally mildly alergic to weat but have been eating scrambled eggs on the mornings before exams that works well for me

Eat what you want. Who cares about what food is best for the brain, just go with what works for you...?

fish

a bottle of coke gives you just enough to go all the way... with some like 'v' that will make u hypo hahahaha

Eat something that has low GI. Sugary foods and drinks will release a high burst of energy for a very short time, and since 3-hour exams really drain you, you need something that keeps you going for a bit longer.

I suggest milk, soymilk, wholemeal or grained breads, baked beans, nutella, healthy cereal (i.e. not fruit loops or similar) and fruit. Since you're not used to eating breakfast, choose something yummy.

NB: I didn't mean eat all of the above as ONE meal.

any type of cereal :uhhuh:

Brains can't run off fat reserves...

My morning diet has been:
- Weet Bix (around 2-6, depending on how I feel)
- Cup of tea, 1 sugar
- Maybe some orange juice
- Cigarette

my breakfast kicks ass! i have toast with cream cheese (alternative to butter)with 2 slices of tasty cheese on each slice of toast. i also eat a passionfruit/banana yoghurt, a piece of fruit and drink an orange juice... yummm
its the best breakie to have before school. i concentrate a lot more compared to previous years.

OMG yum you rock.. totally not so healthy (cream cheese + tasty cheese!) but who cares ...
