Traveling
Recommendations: low-calorie meals
Try: Pre-packed greens tossed with carrots, celeries, walnuts,
strawberries and chicken has fewer calories and subsides hunger for
long rides on the road or plane. Sitting doesn’t require many calories,
so you don’t need to eat a big meal. Instead, a healthy and light snack
will keep you away from unhealthy and high-fat fast foods.
Alertness and Enthusiasm
Recommendations: Lean protein and whole grains, caffeine
Try: Egg-white spinach omelet, whole-wheat bagel with low-fat cream cheese and coffee
“Tyrosine is an amino acid that helps improve mental acuity, and whole
grains have glucose that have been shown to energize the human body,”
says nutritionist Samantha Heller, MS, RD. Caffeine can improve
short-term memory, but does wear off after an hour.
People Person
Recommendations: High-protein, low fat meal is a perfect combination in
balancing concentration when speaking to an audience. Again, amino
acids have the ability to trigger alertness while promoting learning
abilities.
Try: Tofu, salmon, chicken with an array of vegetables can easily help
you stay balanced throughout the day. Overdoing green fiber can make
you feel bloated so be wary of the amount you eat.
