Adding an extra meal when studying

[3rdpuffintwin]

I’m on day 14 and my W30 has been going really well! Good energy all day and meals are usually spaced out well. Today I was working on something new and studying hard. By midafternoon I was tired, but not brain fogged, and hungry. Do some people treat thinking hard like a workout and add an extra meal or a snack on those days?

I don't know about treating studying as a workout, but if you are hungry, it is okay to have something to eat. Be sure you're actually hungry -- as in you'd eat something boring, like plain steamed fish and broccoli -- not eating from stress or boredom or because you're tired. Eating won't make you less tired, for that you need rest. If you do eat, have a mini-meal with protein, fat, and vegetables, or at least two of the three. Definitely avoid having fruit on its own, and be careful with things like nuts or seeds that can be easy to eat mindlessly so that you don't realize how much you've really had.
