for nearly four hours<\/a>, so you\u2019ll need a good meal to keep you going. if you\u2019re running late, even a protein bar is better than nothing.<\/p>\neat protein<\/h2>\n
eating foods with plenty of protein will give your brain a boost. this could include eggs, dairy products, and nuts. dried fruit, walnuts, and blueberries are especially good for your brain. plus, they make great oatmeal toppings. yogurt with granola and fruit is another great option because it includes several healthy items in one meal. if you want something very light, you could have a smoothie made with milk, fruit, and protein powder.<\/p>\n
go for whole grains<\/h2>\n
pick whole grain rather than unhealthy white bread. today is the day to stay away from those sugary muffins and cakes. instead, have eggs on whole wheat toast. this breakfast will boost your brain by giving you plenty of protein, rather than filling you up with empty carbs.<\/p>\n
avoid sugar<\/h2>\n
speaking of sugary muffins, avoid having sugar in your breakfast in general. although it may give you a small jolt of energy, it won\u2019t keep you going long term. stay away from unhealthy cereals and pastries. drink water instead of soda or fruit juice.<\/p>\n
don\u2019t overeat<\/h2>\n
if your meal is too heavy and you overload on carbs, you\u2019ll likely get tired during the test. so try not to be too full, but make sure you\u2019re satisfied so you \u2018re not distracted by your hunger while taking the exam. find a happy medium.<\/p>\n
eat food you like<\/h2>\n
eat the foods you actually enjoy. you\u2019ll want to have yummy food before the test to help you de-stress and put you in a good mood. even if you normally eat junk food, i\u2019m sure you can find some sort of healthy alternative you love just as much. take care of yourself. the least you can do is prepare a nice meal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
