Article: You'll have more energy, and store less of your food as fat, if you eat small meals several times a day rather than only eating three large meals. If you can't fit multiple meals into your schedule, eat smaller portions than normal at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and have healthy snacks throughout the day. Eating on a regular basis keeps your blood sugar levels more stable, so you have a more steady energy supply throughout the day as well as during intense exercise. If your body is getting enough energy from food sources, you won't need to rely on as much caffeine to give you a quick burst of energy, which can help you avoid caffeine overdose. If you have trouble remembering to eat more often, or at appropriate times, consider setting a reminder on your phone or computer desktop calendar to send you a notification when it's time to eat something. Foods that are high in sugar and fat, such as breakfast pastries, can cause you to crash later on in the afternoon. Have a filling breakfast such as oatmeal or an omelette with plenty of fruits or vegetables. Commercial cereals also can provide plenty of nutrition, but read the labels carefully and make sure you're choosing something without added sugar. A fruit and vegetable smoothie or a protein bar may be a good choice if you don't have a lot of time in the morning to cook up a more substantial breakfast. Slow-burning starches such as those found in potatoes, bread, and pasta will give you a steady source of energy for a longer period of time. If you need to exert intense effort for several hours, having a carbohydrate snack an hour or so before the event will keep you from hitting a wall before the end. Choose your carb sources carefully, and avoid refined carbs such as those in white bread and white pasta. Instead, look for whole-grain breads and pastas, or brown rice. If you're on a gluten-free diet, look to foods such as quinoa, corn, and wild or brown rice to get the healthy carbs you need for energy. While sugar may give you a quick burst of energy, it fades quickly and can leave you even more run-down and fatigued than you were before. While eliminating sugar entirely from your diet may be impossible, you can reduce or eliminate many sweets that have added sugar. When you first start decreasing sugar, you may experience a drop in energy, especially if you previously consumed large amounts of sugar. However, over time this should even out. Many energy drinks contain significant amounts of sugar in addition to caffeine. The sugar in these energy drinks may counter the benefits you get from the caffeine, and make it more difficult for your body to recover after intense exercise. Protein is essential to build and strengthen muscles. Most sources of protein also are good sources of iron, which is essential to maintain your overall metabolic rate. Typical sources of protein are lean meats such as chicken and turkey. You also can get protein in a shake made with whey powder, or in a snack of almonds and yogurt. If you don't eat meat, eat plenty of soy-based foods and leafy dark green vegetables, such as spinach, for protein and iron.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Eat every two to three hours. Include carbohydrate and fiber sources at breakfast. Carb up before endurance events. Avoid sugar. Pack in protein at every meal.

Problem: Article: There are many commercial dry carpet cleaning solutions available. These are typically powders that contain a detergent formulated to break down dirt embedded in the carpet and a solution. Some may contain a very small amount of water. You can buy these at a grocery or hardware store. Some popular brands include Love my Carpet, Arm and Hammer, Host, and Carpet Fresh. Dry cleaning will not help remove stains from your carpet. If your carpet is visibly soiled, you may want to use a carpet cleaner instead. Measure out the correct amount of solution according to the instructions on the label. Spread it out over your carpet. Make sure that there is an even amount over all parts of the carpet. Be careful not to use too much. If you do, you may get fine white powder residue on your clothing and furniture, even after you vacuum it up. Follow the specific instructions for the dry cleaning solution. You may need to use a hand brush or dry cleaning brush to work the solution into the carpet. In some cases, you may need to wait 15-20 minutes before vacuuming up the powder, as well. Once you have worked the solution into the carpet, you should vacuum it up. You may want to go over the carpet a few times with your vacuum just to make sure that you have removed all of the powder. If you find that you have white powder on your furniture or clothing after vacuuming, you may need to vacuum again. There is no need to wait for the carpet to dry. Once it is vacuumed, you are done cleaning.
Summary: Purchase a dry carpet cleaning solution. Sprinkle the cleaning solution over the carpet and work it into the fibers. Vacuum the carpet.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Cover the container and place it on the center shelf of your refrigerator. As the oatmeal sits, it will slowly absorb the milk and become plump and tender. It will need 3-5 hours before it's ready to eat. For the smoothest possible texture, leave it for 7-8 hours. If the container you've selected doesn't come with a built-in lid, secure a piece of plastic wrap or aluminum foil around the opening. Refrigerating overnight oats for longer than abut 10 hours may result in a soggy, inedible mess.

SUMMARY: Refrigerate the oats overnight.

This should be the lowest setting your oven has, which is necessary to dry the figs at a low, even temperature. Drying them at a higher temperature would result in cooked figs. If your oven doesn't heat to such a low temperature, set it at the lowest possible temperature and keep the oven door partially open. Carefully trim away the stems as well as any damaged parts and pat them dry with a paper towel or dishcloth. Use a paring knife to slice the figs from stem to tip, lengthwise, on a cutting board. If they are particularly large, cut them in quarters. Be sure to use a rack with ventilation holes, so that the figs dry from below and above. Using a regular baking pan will result in figs that don't dry evenly. Prop the oven door open slightly to allow the moisture to escape and prevent the figs from getting too hot and cooking instead of drying. If you don't want to leave the oven on continuously, you can turn it off halfway through, then turn it back on if necessary. Be sure to turn the figs occasionally during the drying process. The figs are done drying when the outsides are leathery and no juice can be seen on the inside when you split one open. Remove them from the oven and let them cool completely before placing them in airtight containers, like Ziploc bags. You can freeze figs for up to 3 years. Or, you can keep them in the fridge for several months.
