Bacon cobs. Brown sauce, ketchup, all good, but essentially, bacon cobs. Lettuce? Tomato? Massively unnecessary.
Not some sort of hyperactivity inducing thing, but perks me up and is a better stress-relief food than anything other than a good curry. I like my huge fry-ups as much as anyone but it doesn't exactly encourage exercise.

Haha, I'm not sure people are talking about the same type of food. Also miller highlife is fucking nasty.
Do you people actually feel good after this stuff? I don't mean like food coma can't get up style food ("good" though that might feel), but food that makes you feel like conquering the world. I've been eating my massive heap of fried potatoes and eggs more and more of late, I was so pumped from it today that after slogging a mile in the rain to my class I
had to go work out, lest I should rage out on some poor chud on the street. Then I ran all the way home with a heavy backpack on in pouring down freezing rain because I felt like I had the energy of a bear that had the energy of two bears.
I don't think that most of the food mentioned in here elicits quite the same feeling (except heretic, he gets what I mean). I like some gluttonous food as much as the next guy, but its a different type of good feeling.
Well the only true Power Food/energy burst food is for breakfast. I tend to eat really big in the morning (not to bursting of coarse). And I plan my meals so that it is breakfast that last me the entire day. Lunch is meant to be light, quick and easy, which is why I pick stuff that makes me feel the same way. I still have all of that energy from breakfast, but I'm hungry so I fill the hole with something that removes the hunger, tastes good, but all in all makes me feel as if I hadn't eaten anything. This keeps me moving and thinking quickly.
Breakfast starts to wear off around dinner, so I pick meals that will give me a bit more (but not too much, I gotta sleep). The whole point of dinner for me is to pick foods that make me almost giddy. Like a pothead and weed, except for me is dinner. This content happy feeling makes the evening much more pleasurable, and leads to a good night sleep with a full stomach. This in turn leads to more energy the next day.
So its a cycle, not just one type of food that gives energy, but a bunch of foods that help facilitate that energ and keep it going for as long as possible. You are probably eating other things that assist you with that. And even though I love both eggs and potatoes, if I ate them everyday at every meal, I would probably slow down to a crawl eventually.

Food has the complete opposite effect on me. My breakfast usually consists of a diet sunkist, a cigarette, and scratching my ass for half an hour. After that spread, I'm full of energy for the rest of the day. But if I eat anything, from an overpriced vegetarian meal consisting of 6 olives on olive bread, all the way up to a 20oz steak with taco chasers at a Mexican restaurant, I'm instantly sleepy, and stay that way for a couple of hours afterwords.

You're right about breakfast. My day is 4x better when I start it with a nice big breakfast as opposed to a small breakfast or no breakfast at all (which is all too often). I should get up earlier and eat well but I often don't.

Spicy chorizo and beans, fried in wok with olive oil and some herbs... Hmm so good :cool:
Along with a nice, chilled Desperados.
It's probably my favourite 10-minute dish in winter, perfect for dinner when I don't want to be bothered with cooking.
The equivalent summer meal is a fresh palmito/corn/pineapple/tuna/(soy) salad.
Yummy.
