When to eat?
BEFORE you feel hungry. Once you feel hungry it can easily become a losing battle. You feel hungry or like you need instant energy so you eat/consume sugary drinks or food that digest fast and enter the bloodstream quickly but also burn up quickly which results in a drop which can cause the dread 'BONK" OR HITTING THE WALL'. Better to nibble along the way than to wait until you're on the verge of bonking to eat. The same with water/hydration. Drink BEFORE you feeel thirsty. Sipping at regular intervals is better than chugging quantities once you've become thirsty.
Cheers
