Study Snacks

[avi79]

So I'm just curious about what you guys like to eat while studying. I'm kind of bored of my usual walnuts and almonds. I've been considering hummus with assorted vegetables. I've never even tried hummus before….is it good? I also sometimes make a fruit smoothie that I bring with me to school and it seems to get me through most of the day. I'd love to know what foods seem to get you through your marathon study sessions 🙂

Cashew + soy milk

 

[Low Flow]

Coffee...... only.. coffee.. 😵

But in all seriousness, humus is delicious. The spicy kind is my favorite. It kind of has a weird texture at first, but once you get past that, it's pretty good.

Hummus is good. All about the stuff with tons of garlic (+ a breath mint of course).

Favorite snack = energy drink + beef jerky. Such a "bro" snack but it's great.

Crispy bacon dipped to cream cheese+greek yogurt

that just seems like it would make me sick

Cheese curds, On Wisconsin.

 

[persumas]

heh, it depends what kind of studying I'm doing.. 😛

casual = fruits and veggies
more intense = trail mix/random "healthy snacks"
dead week = anything and everything processed and absolutely terrible for you.

I go with Twix and a bag of LifeSaver gummies. I'm outrageously skinny so I figure it can only help 😉

 

[Pacna]

Spicy Nachos. My papers fear the orange smudge, but they cannot escape...!

Wayyyyy better than assorted vegetables. If you want to be healthy, you can wrapped vegetables or walnuts with bacon

 

[frosted_flake]

Watermelon. I can eat the whole thing and not feel guilty about it 😉

good to know, my friends seem to be really into it. Plus, it's healthy and I usually try to stick with healthy snacks while studying.

Oats and fruit

 

[AspiringERMD]

Pizza is the greatest. ^_^

 

[Doctor Strange]

What is this "healthy snacks" nonsense? Doritos all day, every day.

 

[The Milkman]

Pretzel rods, and act like you're smoking a stogie too. Makes you smarter.

 

[La Presse]

Ugh. You guys are a bunch of fatties. 😛 I usually eat big plates when I study, so I might order a whole pizza or a plate of chinese food. It varies.

 

[Zelda840]

bananas!

 

[ts173]

Quest bars..... chocolate chip cookies dough.. so good.. until you remember they have 20g of fiber each when you are half way finished with the 5th bar

 

[cyberchicken001]

I get very sleepy after I eat so I try to keep it at a minimum. Also, I always seem to get food stuck in my molars which is so distracting while I'm studying (sorry for the visual lol). Stick with coffee, it'll keep you alert 🙂

 

[goft20]

Chardonnay and fried shark meat.

I would usually sip on a beer (no more than 1 🙂 ) during MCAT studying and it went well for me

Ahh, the 'Study high, take the test high, get high scores' philosophy. I knew a few kids in high school with that line of thinking. Didn't work out too well for them.

 

[RTC19]

Coffee and fruit.

My 41 speaks for itself 😉

 

[Mayday_]

Hummus is my current obsession. The more garlic, the better 😍

 

[IncognitoGuy]

Sunflower seeds, almonds, Clif bars/protein bars, nut/berry mixes from TJ. Also load my water with chia seeds.

 

[mrh125]

nature valley granola bars, pizza, apples, bananas, anything that can be microwaved

 

[PreciousHamburgers]

Fried oreos, cheese, ice cream, and Lipitor.

 

[TheBatman]

I prefer almonds can't go wrong with almonds. You build lean muscle while you get your A's.

 

[F1rstGen]

Bacon + Bacon = Bacon

Murica'

 

[TheShaker]

Trail mix, peanuts, almonds, really anything with seeds.

 

[wholeheartedly]

I always buy a fruit tray and veggie tray before finals to keep me from snacking on garbage. Works well.

OP, hummus is good, but can be variable depending on who makes it and what add ins there are. In other words, if you try it and don't like it, try different brands and varieties.

 

[deleted407021]

Hummus is great, but I'm personally off it right now. My new snack is dried, pitted dates. Chewy, gooey and wonderful with soy milk, which is also good on Raisin bran crunch. Plain sun dried tomato or other savory triscuits are good for fiber and a slice (or three) of whole grain bread with a bit of peanut butter can keep one going for hours.

 

[zeppelinpage4]

Cashews/almonds mostly

Also for the late nights, trail mix.

As a preface to try and not get fat during medical school...I've been trying to set a routine of incorporating more healthy snacks into my study diet. Nuts, veggies, smoothies, protein shakes, cheese, yogurt, etc.

With that said, I'm likely going to get fat in medical school.

 

[CharmanderMD]

All you people with your healthy snacks. McDonald's cheeseburgers are basically a sexual experience for me.

 

[Essee]

Snacks?
I eat a study meal. It's a good excuse to take a break. Usually instant noodles, mac and cheese, or I make a sandwich/wrap if I'm feeling healthy.

(but otherwise, I seriously love celery sticks and it doesn't make me fat. Win-win)

 

[ShySpliceosome]

Peanut butter, banana slices, and honey on toasted wheat bread 🙂

 

[Doctor Dream]

Fried oreos, cheese, ice cream, and Lipitor.

This just sounds... like an abomination to oreos

No way dude. They serve these at the Fried & Fabulous cart up on the square in Madison... so so good (yet so bad for you)

Hmmm alright, will have to have a sample next time I'm in town!

 

[Skull Pell]

My study buddies are now used to me whipping out a full loaf of bread and a jar of nutella and peanut butter for snack breaks. You have to get your protein (and nutella) somehow!

 

[ketosisevangelist]

Sardines. Leave them in your mouth. Begin to chew in the test center.

 

[The Buff OP]

I hardly eat while I'm studying, but when I do I like these badboys below.

 

[625233]

Mainly fruits and nuts when studying for 'normal' exams. If it's a midterm or final it's whatever i can get my hands on haha.

 

[Lord Osis]

Poop hotdog

 

[mysdnhandle]

Dehydrated and smoked premed. Nothing like fresh hickory gunner.

 

[WhittyPsyche]

This weekend was grocery shopping weekend but alas I had no time. I'm running low on everything, especially snacks- depleted.

So tonight I found some bittersweet chocolate chips (for pancakes) and I'm literally snacking on this while studying... I need help -_- lol
