Susie: You go, girl. Vent away, this is the place for it.
Incidentally, I used to eat a lot of protein in the morning on test day, but I no longer have any need to do so. In fact, I feel no ill effects whatsoever (e.g., shaky hands, weakness) from intermittent fasting. I eat one meal per day, and fast for 23 hours. I have lost 113 pounds in 9 months and feel better than I have in years.
Good luck with the bar exam. I know you will pass.

Secondly, I think much better fasting, so please don't just repeat dogma from the media about needing food for "energy." I do just fine thinking on an empty stomach, and I don't want to take the fake food protein bars you suggest to the exam. I'll eat real food at my planned times, like grapes or nuts, OK? I'm not going to bomb the exam because I didn't eat a protein bar at my break with all the other people who have bought into that theory and are shoving snacks into their mouths.
