I really like to consume mostly protein instead of carbs because I find they make me lethargic. For breakfast, I like eggs and for a snack I think almonds or other types of nuts because they're filling, but don't spike your blood sugar like carbs do.
The night before I eat whatever. It doesn't seem to have any bearing on how I feel in the morning. I just make sure not to drink alcohol.
I've been super big on drinking this stuff called Soylent. It's a meal replacement shake with all the recommended nutrients for a healthy breakfast. I have trouble eating in the mornings and if I don't, I get a headache. And if I do, I end up feeling sick. These drinks have been pretty helpful.
For my snack I've always been a big fan of goldfish and flavored almonds
Overall, though, you should experiment with a bunch of different things and find out what works for you. I really like @ryan___m 's advice about avoiding sugars that will spike your blood sugar.
Cliff bars are my go-to break snack because they are high in sugar but have dense enough calories to stop you from getting hunry. Also, some of them have caffeine (from green tea extract).
I didn't have a ritual food the night before. Both times I tested, the morning of I had a chicken wrap and during the break I ate chunked cheese.
The cheese is small enough not to divert much energy to digestion and it doesn't have the huge spike and crash in blood sugar from some other foods either.
I didn't do anything too specific the night before, I just want it to be balanced and nutritious. I was more specific about breakfast and 15 minute break though. Breakfast: 20 oz coffee, eggs, bacon or ham, oatmeal or potatoes, and fruit. Snack: Banana, peanut butter sandwich, 8 oz matcha.
For my snack I like to make these no bake granola bars. They’re delicious and keep me full for a good 2 to 3 hours. I also like to drink a cup of iced matcha with the granola bar.
