We’re taking a lunch break from my self-defense trial. When I’m in trial (that’s “on trial” for you New Yorkers), I eat low-carb meal replacement bars and drink lots of water. The bars are easy to carry in my trial box, they don’t go bad, they don’t make my blood sugar spike and crash in the afternoon (so I stay sharp), and they’re fairly edible.

What about you? Leave me a comment and let me know how you keep your engines running during trial.
