So I've come to the conclusion that food and school are out to get us =|

I seem to get so hungry while studying, possibly because food is the best thing to have around while reading about ancient thinkers who don't even matter!!!! LOL does anyone feel the same??

I study various blood diseases.  Doesn't exactly give me cravings..
really? weird, because i never notice being hungry in school. actually i think it makes me less hungry haha. are you sure you're eating enough breakfast?
I never get hungry at school, only after when I'm trying to study.  It's quite annoying D:
I actually like school for the fact that it's a good distraction from food. I eat less when I'm occupied with assignments and homework.
so i guess i'm the only one with the study munchies then, huh? =$
I get study munchies, but it's prolly 'cause I'm bored and want to be distracted :p

lol, thank God i'm not alone =P
well today i had some healthy study munchies! i had a green and red pepper with light herb and garlic cream cheese to dip MMM =D and i got full so fast so i was forced to get back to studying haha

no matter how much i eat for breakfast, i am STARVING right before the lunch bell.
*Eating a subway sandwhich after class* 
I totally agree! 
No matter how much I eat, I am always hungry after my 3 hour classes. Which means I eat lunch at 11 and dinner at 3:30... how will I last until midnight??

I got mondo hungry in school. I can't verify this but I believe thinking and studying burns calories. No?
I end up eating a lot of munchies just cause I need to get away from the books so my mind scream at me that I'm hungry, even though I'm really not. I'm a big toast-eater when I study, but almost never eat it any other time. weird.
Oh man, this is the story of my LIFE!  I'm usually not hungry in class, but as soon as I tell myself I need to study or do homework... BAM!  It's like I've never eaten before.  And I KNOW that it's just because I need an excuse to not study, which is annoying.  :-P

School distracts me from wanting to eat cause i have no food here and i dont wanna waste money. Somehow I am starving when i'm at home so I eat a lot.

When I was in school  I got major study munchies. I remember 1 day I ate cereal for breakfast, cookie for a snack, lunch, then when I got home I had a package of ramen, and a microwavable burrito while I made hamburger helper for dinner, then I went to before game practice, after practice had brownies and a bagel, then I cheered, at halftime I ate a slice of pizza, then after the game I had a slice of pizza with some friends, then went home and ate icecream. No wonder everyone thought I was smoking...lol. I ate like this pretty much all through highschool and never really gained any weight

Oh man. I think I hit the lowest point in study munchies once in college. I was working late, and I got a craving for donuts that I COULD NOT shake. I finally ended up looking up all night donut stores online, bundling up, hiking out the parking lot to get my car, driving to the donut store and buying a huge bag of donut holes and getting back to the dorm and eating most of them before finally throwing out the remaining few.

The sad part? This wasn't the low point. That was the next day, when I got desperate again and fished one out of my trash bin and ate it. Full disclosure: it was still in the bag it came in, in my personal room trash bin which only had paper and food wrappers in it. Nevertheless....it was one of those moments where I was embarrassed to admit to MYSELF what I was doing. But studying can be stressful!

Now that my metabolism has gone up, I'm hungry in school often. I have peanut butter and toast during first period, some cheese after second, nuts before fourth, and chili with beans for lunch.

I would say school assignments are distracting to hunger, but I find I somehow have a lot of free time during class. That, or the work we're doing is simply "busy work" and not the least bit interesting/challenging. I know where you're coming from. :|

Wow, we're so different muttlover! In class I'm never hungry.

During breaks I might get a little snackish because everyone brings lots of fatty snacks but if I'm too busy studying or completing something I forget to eat.

On the other hand, it is when I am studying at home (that is to say revision, assessment tasks, homework) I find myself walking back and forth from the kitchen with bowl of carrot sticks after bowl of carrot sticks; my preferred crunch-crave-buster!

However, after the 4th bowl I start to realize I've spent all my time peeling and cutting carrot sticks rather than doing any work at all!

Oh, I definitely feel you on this one. It seems like when all of my energy is focused on class or studying, I get an intense hunger. Probably more intense then after a good work out. haha  odd, isn't it?
in high school my mind would always wander and think about lunch. now snacks and meals and such are basically excuses for "breaks" from studying when i am bored and distracted. the problem is that you are much less active while you're studying so you should be eating less, not more! during my freshman year i gained a few pounds during finals : /
