What do you like to snack on when you study? I have to have something to eat whenever I study.

I usually go for nuts like almonds or peanuts, but I also got a sweet tooth for chocolate. But I can't eat a bag of M&Ms every study session. That's not good.

What about you guys?

Saltines with Cholula sauce.
 
Chocolate peanuts. Also pasta
 
Cashews, almonds, raisins.

When I was in high school, I usually made two peanut butter sandwiches and a glass of milk, while doing homework.

In my later years, it's chips and hummus, or vegemite on toast with cheese or hummus.

Sometimes, I'd enjoy pizza and a good beer.
 
Any solid foods while studying seem to distracting, too demanding to eat while any kind of studying. Just coffee has been best. Liquid. Beverage. Clean. No mess unless it is spilled or dribbled.
 
To me there is nothing better than a bowl of goldfish crackers :)
 
Museli without anything except a water bottle on the side. It has the same effect on hunger as water has on thirst, its unpleasant, extremely healthy and if you eat more than 100g you start feeling sick and can't eat it anymore. I've bough 45 kg of musli at a local sale and have gotten used to eating it as a snack replacing all junk food

You can take the boy out of Australia but you can't take Australia out of the boy.

I tried Vegemite once, to see if it was as bad as I thought. It's exactly as bad as I thought.
