Your diet on study days

[DJ_NAV]

I am going to be studying a solid 10-11 hours on Wednesday and Thursday this week for my exam on Friday.

What is your diet/schedule like on such study days to provide you energy, concentration and also better sleep.

I usually eat about the same amount of meals, but snack probably 3 or 4 times more... studying makes me hungry.

try not to surf beyond too much

Lol.. pizza and pop??? sooo tempting but I am trying to look for alternatives to the usual junk food. I also fall sleepy easily when it comes to studying... need to find foods that will keep me awake. Are all caffeine pills the same? I know there are different strengths but is there a difference between the brands?

try a scoop of isolate whey protein, and a tablespoon of instant coffee.


I actually find that Pizza and Coke Light is the ticket. I am wired from the pop. It's like crack - I'm so high!

Caffeine pills should be the same. 100mg and 200mg doses are common.

100 is like a M coffee and 200 is a XL.

Try to study Tuesday & Wednesday. And don't study as hard on Thursday the brain loses a lot of what it memorizes within 24 hours. Don't know if it is true but it's what I heard.
