What do I eat for breakfast before an exam??

Eggs, beans, seeds and nuts are protein-rich foods that the body uses to make amino acids. Amino acids are precursors to the neurotransmitters, or specialized brain cells, which help you to maintain mental acuity and motivation.
A half-cup of cottage cheese, 1 cup of yogurt or 1 ounce of hard cheese provide between 10 and 15 ounces of protein, approximately one third of your daily protein requirement. Omega-3 fatty acids. The nutrient is necessary for learning, concentration and memory, it’s essential to provide your brain with an adequate supply. If you don't like salmon, sardines or trout, walnuts, hazelnuts or cashews are good alternatives. Omega-3 supplements are also available in capsule form. Many are of high quality, but less expensive supplements may be ineffective and contain contaminants. Avoid choosing your supplements based on price alone.
Avoid coffee and sugar-laden soft drinks that can cause nervousness and interfere with the ability to focus. For the best hydration drink plenty of water throughout the day and bring a bottle along to sip.
Avoid carbohydrates, they stimulate the production of serotonin, that quiets the brain and has the feelings of calm and relaxation. A slice of whole-grain bread is better and avoid processed foods.

When I was a student, I always avoid oily food during exams and I make sure to have a bar of chocolate before the exams. Banana will also help fuel up your brain.
