Northern Joe, not a fan of bananas? They’re supposed to be very good for between meals, but I think you said not fruit. I find oatcakes very handy when I want a low sugar slow energy release snack.
Bananas don't work for me. Mush too easily in bags and don't last long enough for flattening out sugar peaks and troughs. I used to eat a lot until I realised they don't help me much, or do me any good.
I'm watching the documentary on the storming of the capitol. I knew it was bad but I am genuinely shocked and angry. My blood is boiling! I have never believed in death penalty and hopefully never will but I think these people probably won't accept they're in the wrong without serious punishment. I won't sleep tonight unless I calm down. It's sickening!
My fear is whether it could happen here? If it did would you be with them or would you stand up to defend what democracy we have? If it did would you be willing to organise to help stop it? Why didn't true American patriots not turn up to defend the capitol? Why did people leave it to those criminals?
The oatcakes I buy come in a box containing individual packs of 5 oatcakes. Long use by date, so easy to pop in a bag or glove compartment for an emergency. I’m a fan of dried apricots and prunes, the proper dried ones, not the ‘soft’ ones that go off very quickly. Almonds tend to be less allergy producing. I’d need to make sure I had a drink with all these, especially the oatcakes.
Protein will keep you fuller for longer than anything else. All food ends up as glucose it's the only form of energy that cells can use. The trick is to use foods that take some time to digest and end up in that form. Nuts, seeds, oats, as suggested are all good. Fats and oils take time to break down but can have other health issues. Eggs were wrongly condemned by heart specialists years ago but even too many of these are not great. A good old fashioned balanced mix is still the best.
My weekend breakfast is often eggs, 3 or 4 of them Saturday and Sunday. I might eat toast, crumpets or oatcakes after them but don't need to.
Jacket potatoes also keep you fuelled up for longer I once read.
Plain peanuts were my old wild camping food to eat just before lights out. Routine was warm drink, out of sleeping bag for one last walk around then into sleeping bag in bivvy bag under tarp. If on my own the mp3 player out in fact even with people. I then eat peanuts listening to music until I drop off. I always turn off the music just before eyes shut. The pure reason for peanuts is fats and even protein is burnt slowly and if cold slow burn means warmth through thermogenesis as part of breaking down the food. It really makes the difference. You'd not expect it without experiencing it.

That is exactly why I was so insistent the other day that in a democracy protests have to be within the law.
(on that thread talking about the Insulate Britain roadblocks etc).
As I said then, the feeling that your wishes/demands etc justify breaking the law is a very slippery slope.
The danger with Trump is that he promulgated the belief that democracy was already broken … he’s a very dangerous narcissist who has got away with illegal acts all his adult life. He should’ve been brought to book a long time ago.

What got me was how met officers defending the capital were so badly affected that at least one took his service gun and ended it a few weeks later. Imagine an experienced and highly trained police officer, picked for his abilities to defend the federal lawmakers being so badly affected suicide was the end result! Just think about that a moment. If that happens then your protest wasn't worth it and it wasn't right IMO.
I got to sleep in the end. An hour using tablet puzzle game as a form of meditation. It's like the water bowl meditation used by Buddhists. Your concentration is fixed on something so focused that thoughts and stresses evaporate. Then I turned TV off and fell asleep straight after getting into bed. Boy did that documentary get me pacing mad!
If I actually have a shoot about specifically insulating a small subset of British housing stock I guess I might have got mad at the insulate to$$ers for taking the protest into undirected areas like they did.
I think the government should be helping all to insulate not just housing the state owns based on ability to pay for it. Those who can afford get fined if they don't. Use the inland revenue to determine that affordability.
Also the heat pump subsidy without insulated and sealed buildings isn't a solution. I listened to a contractor specialising in heat pump installations explain about the on costs to getting the heat pump system to work as needed in a typical UK house. Bear in mind that's an energy efficiency of D or 64. Higher the better.
