Ask HN: Do you use food as a performance enhancing drug when coding?

Towards the end of the week, usually on Thursday (we work Sunday - Thurs), I am unable to focus and progress - my body and my brain just don't want to work and write any more code. I feel that I should be resting instead, but I need to work.

So I use food as a performance enhancing drug. I gobble up chicken wings, veggies, chocolate, peanut butter sandwiches, milk, fruit, Sprite Zero - lots of it - and all of a sudden I can work again.

Does anyone else feel this or go through something similar? Do you think it's healthy? Is there any alternative? It definitely screws up my diet.
