Quick Chow to Help You Cope with Stress
People tend to either eat a lot or eat too little when too stressed out. It's during times of difficulties that you need to know what to eat when too stressed because reserved strength, physical and mental, has lots to do with coping emotionally. Don't succumb to appetite loss or overeating. Eat snacks.
But understand that it's in these times that we need more good nutrition, not just any food. So, we should eat more. Forget about diets---just eat. We don't need to eat a lot, but we need nutritious food. The more we will be able to cope well and think accurately and decide correctly if we load up with nutritious food, feeding our brains and bodies with nutrients for coping up well.
What to Eat
Snacks are enough. What to eat when too stressed? Opt for nutritious food easy to cook and eat. Try boiled eggs, lettuce, celery, tomatoes, cucumbers, fresh milk, (real) tuna sandwich, or any dish with fish and fresh veggies. Fish with omega-3 fatty acids, like sardines, can help your cardiovascular system remain calm. I mean, the fresh type of sardines, not the canned ones.
Go slow on carbohydrates because too much of it doesn't help mind alertness, though you need some for energy. During tight situations, you need to be active and do physical activities, like run here and there or carry heavy things. Eat more protein like fish, eggs and chicken. Pork and beef, well, if you feel like it, why not. Pwede na din. Do take plenty of plant-base proteins, like tofu, soy milk, or string beans.
What I love eating when stressed is white cheese in bread. I love white cheese made from goat's milk and brown wheat bread. You have enough carbs with that and good source of protein. But you cannot have them ready all the time, especially in times of emergencies. But you can keep some carabao milk in bottles in the fridge, and carabao milk is easily available in major groceries today.
Readily available nutritious food are soy bean curd (or taho with brown sugar syrup) which you can buy from taho vendors almost anywhere and anytime in Manila. Boiled eggs are also sold in small store stalls in some streets, and fresh milk in packs are plenty in convenience stores. Perhaps real tuna sandwich with green veggies. Eat them when you're in too much stress.

And yes, I'd recommend apples, bananas and avocado. They're easily available in most places, too, especially bananas. If you opt for a nutricious cup of yogurt, buy the unflavored and unsweetened ones. Eat less or sugar-free food when overstressed. They cause inflammation which makes stress doubly dangerous. Avoid "sugar-free" products that use artificial sweeteners. And definitely no sodas, sweet coffee or softdrinks. Settle with clean, pure water.
