Any ideas at all would be helpful.
How do you feel about tuna?
You can get tuna cups, about 3-3.2 oz each, individually sealed that don't have to be refrigerated. That along with either four rye crackers or two rice cakes, a baggie of baby carrots, freeze dried apple snacks, and a bottle of diet tea is what I have for lunch about twice a week (at work, not in class, but same basic idea). About 300-350 calories for everything, and rather filling.
don't go too low cal, your brain needs fuel! Save your calories elsewhere.
one idea - fruit and nuts. whatever fruit is in season (apples and pears now) with some nuts and/or seeds...walnuts (6 halves is a serving), almonds, pepitas, sunflower seeds, all very healthful. just watch the portion sizes, nuts are calorie dense but they're great brain food!

This is the best way to picture a portion of pie or cake: Draw a circle to represent the circumference of the cake or pie (9" pie? 10" cake?... Read more
