I'll throw my hat in the ring for Always Eat Breakfast. I've been doing it for years and my metabolism definitely improved. I tell people that it doesn't actually matter that much what you eat for breakfast, just do it (as in, chocolate cake for breakfast is better than no breakfast).
AEB. Always Eat Breakfast. I don't care if you have lunch in 2 hours. I don't care if you're going to be late to class. I don't care if you're X. Always Eat Breakfast. I don't care if you have to eat breakfast, then throw away 90% of your lunch. ALWAYS eat it.

On the other stuff you can do: Make being prepared into a project. I like going over all the materials, identifying all the techniques I'd have to master (in outline format usually, but some materials are bad, so I reorganize it), then figuring out a way to determine if I can perform the techniques.

Lastly: Are you sure all the lectures are useful? I always found at least one teacher in a courseload that size to be completely ineffective and it a much better use of time learning the objectives elsewhere and reclaiming those hours.
