Crossword Genius

Eat well, quickly getting energy (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

feast

'eat well' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'quickly getting energy' is the wordplay.
'quickly' becomes 'fast' (synonyms).
'getting' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'energy' becomes 'e' (physics symbol as in E=mc2).
'fast' going around 'e' is 'FEAST'.

(Other definitions for feast that I've seen before include "Huge nosh-up" , "Banquet or religious festival" , "Beano" , "wine and dine" , "Celebration" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
