What do you eat when you're studying?
What do you eat when you're studying?
I'm bored (from studying) ...
so far, I've had chips, salted peanuts, pretzels, pork chops, and pizza (not usually my favorite, but I must've been craving the salt from the meat )
What does everyone else do?

studying is usually my WORST time for giving in to cravings -- for some reason I can never sit down to study without a bag of candy to 'keep me going'. It's even worse if I'm studying in a coffee shop.
When I'm being good, I usually try to keep 2L of diet coke (not a coffee drinker -- I suppose water would be better) and a bag of baby carrots on the desk.

Take a backpack to Pizza Hut for all you can eat lunch, put three slices in the bag for each slice you eat, eat for two hours, you've got two weeks worth of pizza in the bag.
I also used to spend the week before exams cooking up big batches of food I could eat while studying - chili, lasagna, that sort of thing.

weird, I'm that way when I'm programming (cuz I have a "zone") but not while I'm studying... last night I had chips and a grape fanta (which is not nearly as good as grape crush, btw).

You know what used to be my favourite studying snack... dry golden grahams. If I was extra stressed I would throw in a few marshmallows and chocolate chips and nuke for a few seconds.

ooooh, good thread! Now this is horrible but I tend to chew on my lips while I study...so I counter it by always having nibblies handy. Hot Tamales are a favourite, although Quick Chick's cereal chocolate chip marshmallow snack is sounding great right now...

I used to have popcorn or cookies when I studied.
My roommate had sour gummy bears and Coke... She got sores in her mouth from eating too many sour gummy bears, but she couldn't help it.

Same here.
But chocolate is always my downfall. Good thing I don't live closer to the store.

Carrie reminded me last night about the one time I bought a club pack of cheap weiners at Superstore and ate nothing but microwaved weiners for about a week. Except for the time I made weiner fried rice.
I miss university.
