Counter-experience to 2. Not eating at the computer:
I used to take a break to eat food - I'd watch TV or read a magazine while eating. However, this context switch would be costly, and when I got back to the computer, I'd be starting to get tired from digesting the food.
By coding while eating slowly, I was able to realise massive productivity gains. This only works if, like me, you don't mind eating luke warm food.
Then, instead, I'd take the break/nap after eating, and would not have my productivity affected by the energy spent digesting the food.
