Food to fuel your brain
RDI - December 2007
Stuck late in the office? Bypass the biscuit tin and choose a snack that will satisfy your stomach rumbles for longer.
If you're starving because you didn't eat lunch. Make something small to tide you over until dinner. Try peanut butter on wholewheat crackers or a handful of nuts.
If you still have a long night ahead of you. Eat a light meal that won't slow you down. Try a turkey sandwich on whole-grain bread or cheese on toasted brown bread.
If you've had a coffee and are now past the point of being hungry. Try eating a piece of fruit, some yoghurt, a boiled egg or a slice of ham. That way you won't wake up in the middle of the night famished.
If the vending machine is your only option. "The occasional packet of chips is fine," says Ursula Arens from the British Dietetic Association. "But don't reach for them every time you work late."
