I attend school from 7.30am to 2pm or even 3pm on alternate days. I normally have milk for breakfast and some oatmeal (and I am always full at this stage), but I am not allowed to eat in class otherwise I will get booked. As such, I have nothing to eat from morning till afternoon after which I normally have quite a huge lunch (because of the hunger). Some days, I get gastric and this "hollow" feeling inside me.
Sometimes, my friends and I can't stand the hunger and we sneak in little snacks to eat in class, stuff that won't crackle or squirt around when we're trying to sneak food in front of the teacher. Do you guys have any suggestions for "sneaky food" that is healthy and rich in nutrients and not so high in calories?
Thanks :)

Dried fruit! All natural, and full of natural carbs and sugars for an energy boost.
Peices of whole wheat bread. A peice of whole wheat bread with some PB on it.
Anything you can cut into dice-sized pieces, stick in a baggie and stuff into your pocket is a go, provided it's not a really crunchy, loud food or something that drools excessively.
Try cubing apples and other firm fruit like not-quite-ripe peaches, nectarines and pears. Cut up RF cheese, nuts (provided nobody is allergic... an allergy attack would probably give you away), and cucumber slices will work, too.
Have you considered bathroom breaks? Stuff something in your pocket and go to the washroom every three hours or so. Keep a waterbottle on your desk and drink away... and then snack away while you're out of the classroom.

Thanks for the great ideas!
this is not good! I think your parents, and the parents of your fellow students need to step in here.
It's illegal for employers to require employees to work for more than 4 hours without a break (it varies from state to state, but there are protective laws). I've always felt that schools should be held to the same standards.
I remember when my daughter had to be in school at 7:30, had a 20 minute lunch shift at 10:30, then the entire day until 3 pm, plus the long bus ride home, with no food. I sent her with granola bars, but she wasn't allowed to eat them except for the time she spent waiting for the bus to load.
It's inhuman!
Doesn't your school have lunch period?
