Anyone have any "go-to" healthy, low-cal, high protein snack that they munch on gradually throughout the day or when watching lecture or studying?

String cheese
Strawberry cheesecake Dannon light and fit Greek yogurt (the best of many yogurts I’ve tried)
 
Hard boiled eggs
Mixed nuts/almonds
Grapes
Carrots
String cheese

These are my standards that are pretty portable. I have a lunch bag that I put in the freezer so thing stay pretty cool throughout the day
 
Carrots, Frigo light string cheese, Oikos triple zero yogurt, Fiber one bars, almonds

The freezable lunch bags are worth the $15-20, first thing I have had that stays cold ALL day.
 
Cheese sticks and grapes are gr8!!!

individually wrapped costco hummus with chips amazing
 
To echo what others have said:

Take a few minutes on a Sunday to hardboil eggs, a great healthy snack in a pinch during the week.

Buy some pre-prepped string sweet potatoes, add some cucumber or some veggie, and the egg = healthy snack.
 
RX bars or LaraBars;
find a trail mix you like and divide it into containers/baggies;
hard boiled eggs;
single serve PB;
any and all fruits;
any vegetable you like raw;
dried fruit;
freeze cups of yogurt so they thaw slowly and stay cold thru the morning if you pack food (the GoGurt strategy of middle school);
beef/turkey/salmon jerky (careful with sodium!);
roasted sweet potatoes with lemon tahini sauce.

Did you make a typo or are string sweet potatoes a real thing?... clearly I’m low on the healthy food knowledge

I can't be sure, but maybe this person meant those "noodles" made from SPs? In that case, they're crazy expensive pre-prepped and its worth the $10 investment in a spiralizer so you can DIY any kind of imposter noodles.
 
Not quite low cal, but peanuts are my favorite study snack. Filling, relatively tasty, and nutritious af.
 
Cucumbers

How ?

Also OP you're better off with some green tea to sip. During a 8 hour study session you can graze a whole pile of snacks.

If you seek harm reduction go for rice cakes with vegetables on top , popcorn , A FEW almonds or just maybe kale chips (IDK them but they sound OK). However nothing is healthy for us since we snack by the ton simply because we study for days and days.

BTW stay away from carrots , they cause wolf like hunger that will result in the rapid ingestion of two burritos or a pizza.
 
detail your process of digestion.
do you salivate first, or separate your mandibles then squirt saliva at the vegetable

Ah, I now understand your inquiry, forgive me for my ignorance.

I actually lie supine and place the whole unpeeled cucumber on my bare abdomen. It then gets directly incorporated into my GI tract by a process similar to endocytosis.

While studying I used to like cottage cheese and fruit, and for the wards Questbars are great albeit expensive.
 
Costco beef jerky is the key. Keeps forever, super healthy, no mess.
