Hi Cristy Ann,

First of all, congratulations on your weight loss success.  While time is certainly very valuable right now, consider how you can keep burning extra calories within your lifestyle.. things like taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or walking instead of taking the bus a few stops can really add up!

To my knowledge there are not specific foods that really will boost your memory. There are foods rumored to do so, but there are so many variables it's practically guaranteed not to work! The best will be eating what works for you and what you are used to. For instance, if you are used to eating breakfast you will continue to feel better when you do so and worse when you don't.
If you don't eat enough (go too long without a meal) and your hunger distracts you, that will become an issue.

Keeping your routine to 4-5 small meals each day with a small amount of protein, fat and carbs at each sitting should keep you feeling alert and not too full.

Good luck to you on your Bar!
