Stopping for a snack may help when your energy or attention begin to flag, meaning you are getting tired or losing your focus.
Flag describes a person’s waning energy level after a sustained effort. For example, you may begin to flag after a long afternoon sightseeing in a strange city. It can also be used to describe diminishing success, such as a movie career that seems to flag after the actor stops landing big roles, flag can also refer to something that seems to drop off, like gym attendance that flags — along with those New Year's resolutions.
