Long wedding days — how do you stay fuelled without offending hosts or overeating later?
At many Indian weddings you stand through ceremonies and only get chai, samosas or mithai between events. For people who want to avoid feeling wiped out or bingeing at the main meal, what do you actually do? Carry a discreet snack, nibble small portions, rely on host food, or something else? Share what worked (or felt awkward).

Quick, practical approach: eat small balanced bites every 2–3 hours (protein/healthy fat + some carbs) so you don’t run on chai/sweets and crash. Examples that travel well and fit Indian weddings: a small handful (≈20–30 g) roasted nuts or roasted chana + a fruit; roasted makhana; a peanut‑butter/chapati roll; or a compact protein bar. Sip water regularly (dehydration worsens fatigue). At the feast, take a small plate, choose protein/veg first and eat slowly. These choices (protein+fiber/fat) slow digestion and steady blood sugar, reducing the urge to overeat later.
