| Pasta or a sandwich | Feb 6 |
I'd have a proper meal.
I'm one of those people who are always hungry and can out-exercise any intake of calories.
(Although if I was tired I would normally just stop working.)

If you don't overdo it, nuts are actually supposed to be good for weight management as they contain quite a bit of fiber and keep your blood sugar stable. As I'm veggie, they are a useful source of protein for me. I mostly avoid raisins because they are sugary and stick to your teeth, so are a bit of a risk for tooth decay.

| Barley tea or protain-rich | Feb 6 |
Crackers and barley - black sesame tea will do, but usually it is better to replenish some protain-rich food than resorting to refined carbo-hydrates...

It's hard to not overdo it...
I think it's supposed to be good to eat raisins with nuts because the nuts (like raw carrots) help to scrape the sticky bits off your teeth.

I'm always hungry so I eat more like a monkey than a lion, grazing all day and eating very little at actual mealtimes.
I do make sure to have plenty of nutritious snacks available: fruit, home-made wholemeal bread, peanut butter, cashew nut spread and veggie spreads, yoghurt, carrot/cucumber sticks, more fruit, and cake only when I make it myself using organic, whole ingredients.

Generally speaking, very sweet options are appalling if you have to keep concentrated later on (believe me, I have ADHD and I have read a lot about this).
It is much better to eat nuts (unprocessed), some protein (ideally fish), natural yogurt, bananas...)
