What should you eat before an interview?

Posted by Wendy Weber

This is something I had never thought of!

Here is advice from Chef Marcus Samuelsson, Chef and Author: click here.

For Energy, eat Protein –  Your breakfast on interview day should emphasize on thing: protein, protein, protein. The lean proteins found in eggs and fish not only provide that feeling of fullness, but also will give you sustained energy throughout the day. Try recipes such as a Kale Breakfast Bowl or the Swedish favorite Gravlax for both flavor and ample protein.

For Clarity, focus on Antioxidants and Omega-3 – Lingonberries and blueberries are not only some of my favorite foods, they are also a good source of antioxidants. Along with the essential fatty-acids found in edibles such as salmon and nuts, these chemicals have been shown in increase short-term brain functioning. Try a Kale, Oat, and Blueberry Smoothie or a Grilled Salmon Sandwich for a brain boost before the interview.

For Stress, go Nuts – Research indicates that magnesium, an element commonly found in nuts, greatly reduces overall stress levels. Eating ample amounts of dried apricots, spinach, and corn, all foods also rich in magnesium, has the same effect. Try recipes such as Fava, Quinoa, and Spinach Cakes or Roasted Corn Salad to beat pre-interview jitters.
