At least THREE meals a day

Think about health, here. It's not always easy for me to. Sometimes I'd rather read Terry Prachett while eating cookies than go to the gym and eat carrots.

"Regular intake of food was certainly the way our hunter-gatherer ancestors ate. They needed the nutrients for body-temperature regulation (no central heating!) and hard physical work.
Modern researchers have shown that eating three meals a day actually assists in setting the body’s internal clock. Regular meals (and exposure to sunlight) trigger wakefulness during the day. If we are awake during the day, we’re more likely to sleep well at night.
Several studies have demonstrated that eating regularly throughout the day helps keep weight and cholesterol levels down. Irregular meals do the opposite.
Remember, I didn’t say how much to eat, only to eat something of nutritional quality at regular times. You might need only a piece of fruit and a handful of almonds. Quality matters more than quantity."

In his article, Tom Ballard discusses the importance of making sure you eat food multiple times during the day, in order to keep up your energy. He suggests eating a good breakfast, and lunch 4-6 hours afterwards. He emphasizes quality over quantity. Sit down for smaller meals, and you can be more rejuvenated and less tired after them, although having a nice sit-down dinner is good, too! He also suggests how to set goals:

"Judge the success of your meal timing by how you feel. The first step is to decide on an initial strategy. For instance, you may decide you’re going to eat three balanced meals a day. Good plan. Now, do that for one or two weeks and keep a record of how you feel. If you feel good and your weight is stable or going in the direction you want (up or down, usually down), then stick with that program. If you’re not doing well, reevaluate by pinpointing when you’re not feeling well."

As a designer, eating like this is especially hard in the winter months, becuase of those deadlines, where you get by on one meal and snacks a day, living in the computer lab. That will especially be happening this year to me, as it is my final year in an Honours Program. I am sure it happens to many more stud
