Are you looking for healthy snacks, meals, or both?

If you do that oral fixation thing that I do, where studying = bored hands = feeling the need to eat, then get a really leafy salad (really, just plain chopped lettuce or spinach works for me) or some unsalted nuts in their shells (pistachios, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds) and - here's the key - eat with your hands. It's somehow more satisfying to feel the food in your hands, plus the lack of utensils automatically limits your intake.

Along the same lines, I fill up a coffee mug with water and make a point to keep drinking out of it while I study. When my cup is empty and I'm thirsty, I take a really quick break to go get more water and stretch a little. This strategy also comes with longer built-in bathroom breaks, because you're drinking so much water. :)

Meal suggestions - do you like tofu? I can eat it plain out of the fridge, but sauteing some tofu with a little bit of soy sauce takes like, 7 minutes, tops. That plus some bread and fresh veggies is easy and healthy. Cook as a 15-minute break, then eat while you study.

Also, I'm not a huge fan of cold cuts, but lunch meat, bread, spinach, and mustard make a perfectly acceptable sandwich. Perhaps not the best sandwich ever, but healthy and quick.

Breakfast: boil an egg while you brush your teeth and use the bathroom in the morning. Toast, a boiled egg, and some grapes usually hold me over until lunch, but you could add another egg or some cereal to that. Eggs also work in salad for lunch or dinner, if you're craving protein.

I was kinda looking for healthy everything so this is awesome! The only thing is since I'm dieting I try to stay away from bread, and if I do I go for whole wheat. But, for this week, I think I can get away with having some bread as long as I make sure to balance it with veggies and fruits. Thanks!

put almonds in a jar. fill jar with water. soak overnight. remove water. voila! instant snack food (that's right, instant). Add a dash of olive oil and hickory salt or curry or whatever herbs and spices you deem appropriate.
