Or they could just eat better meals so you don't feel like snacking. And 5-6 meals a day is ridiculous.Quote:

Not surprised if you only had toast.
Next time have peanut butter toast.
smoked bacon. just roll it up and munch tastes fantastic. If you keep it refrigerated it'll be fine and you won't get food poisoning if it's fresh enough because it's been smoked (which does cook it enough to prevent food poisoning, what do you think smoked salmon is?) Once you've gotten a taste for smoked bacon as is, it can be hard keeping bacon long enough to cook.
Polish sausages such as Kielbasa or Hunters Sausage tend to do well as snacks too.
Fruits, Nuts are an obvious one, the cheese snacks works well too.
Also if you need a sweet tooth get a big multipack bag of stuff like M&Ms simply put them in a huge bowl (I suggest a mixing bowl) and every few minutes allow yourself one or two the instant sugar hit and everything should help.
Drinks wise, redbull can work in regards to limited bursts of studying, you'll find after the initial hit your body will crash all the harder for having it, best used only towards the end of the day so you can go to sleep once the crash kicks in. Redbull is too destructive for your liver and kidneys to put in all day unless you sip it slowly which no man has ever managed to do before. Coke does work too as will apple juice generally (though be prepared to piss a lot)
Well what isn't mentioned there is the size those 5 - 6 meals a day ought to be. Clench both hands as fists, put them side by side. No meal bigger than that should ever pass your lips at any given time. When looking at it like that, it's quite easy to eat 5 - 6 meals a day. Especially when training hard in the gym.Quote:

Yeah but four pieces of it should generally get you further in the day. But then, I'm hungry an hour after any meal.Quote:

The typical pleb who just does less than a dozen hours exercise a week and is other fairly sedentary doesn't need to worry about this.
Anyways, if you wanna stay fuller for longer, eat more fat. As Vivi said, chuck in some eggs or something with your toast.
That's not even true though. >:[Quote:

That's my point, Julian, though I didn't phrase it particularly well. Eating more often only really matters to athletes, because they need the energy.
why isn't this thread about 24/7 steak?
Isn't there already a steak appreciation thread?
