It’s really important to eat properly while studying for exams. A healthy diet will give you lots of energy. Sugary snacks like sweets and chocolate may give you short-term energy, but it is better to eat foods that give you lots of energy over a longer period of time. Check out our list of brain foods and try to make sure your diet includes lots of these things during exam times.
Super brain foods:

Eat regular, healthy snacks while you’re studying as well as three good meals a day to keep your energy levels high.

I usually eat chicken and eggs. These are my favorite food. I don't like vegetables and salads although I know they are very good for health and studying. I guess I should try to eat them from now on.
I love pasta :p god thanks i can eat it during my exams :pp
I don't eat meat and eggs. I always eat vegetables, fruits and cereals.
better to eat more meat there is a lot of protein
I eat everything that it is in that list .:)
I fully agree with your list ,it is very useful during exam season. :D
I eat everything that you mentioned exept fresh fruit and brown bread.Fruit is very healthy for your brain,but I don't like the smell and taste,sometimes I eat strawberries. :)
well the list you mentioned includes very good and significant foods for brain particularly fresh fruits I have also heard eating coffee is very helpful to stay awake especially when we have to study till late at night.
Thanks
My tip: Chocolate!
If you can't avoid eating chocolate when you study than make sure you buy a "healthy chocolate". By healthy I refer to chocolate with a high percentage of cacao (over 70% at least), also known as dark chocolate. Chocolate is a good brain food! Next time you go to a store look for a cacao chocolate - they are usually marked well. Dark chocolate has all the vitamins you need (not as much as vegetables and fruits though). It can be of a more bitter taste, but some people actually prefer it that way ;) Me too.
Oh, you're dead right. Dark chocolate is really useful for exam period. In addition,chocolate can help you to avoid feeling depressed. As for me, sometimes I feel depressed when I study for a long period of time and don't have any time to just go outside. Especially, I do when the weather is great....but! I have to study. So sometimes it is very useful to eat something tasty) But without fanaticism)))
I agree with you two.
By the way, ur profile picture is nice, dear Anna-tagi !
