(Remember, drink to thirst as over-hydration kills.)* If the cheeseburger appeals, then you're either after fat or salt.* If the cake appeals, then you'll probably have to some carbohydrate.You can vary the items to suit your taste. For instance, if a doughnut generally appeals more than cake, then think of a doughnut instead of cake.
