    Peanut M&Ms and energy drinks have always been my typical exam food and I've always worked between 9 pm and 4 am. So I'm a little scared of my next exams, too. I don't know if healthy alternatives will help me through the exams, but afterwards in the semester break, there will be lots of time for workouts though :-D

    Yeah, indeed... problem is, I start working the week after, and I'll be working from 8 am to 5 pm everyday, except weekends. But we'll get through this :-)

    I'm in the same boat. I treat exam time the same way I treat the rest of the school year. Keep up a routine. I personally stick to eating 3 large meals a day and that's it, no snacks.

    Search high carb low fat vegan snacks for healthy options if you feel the need :) Good luck on finals

    Thanks! I would love that for once I can say that I didn't gain any weight or hardly any. If I can keep it off during finals, I can keep it off...

    Does anyone have any tips on how to reduce this?

    Prepare for your exams earlier, and better.

    Then there's no reason to stress.

    When I am feeling especially stressed and anxious I know emotional eating WILL be a problem. I stock up on sugarless gum and candies (I love ice breakers). Now, over consumption can lead so some tummy discomfort. however, i take the trade off. I would rather have some tummy bloating than the knowledge that I just consumed 1500 calories in snacking throughout the day.

    I would have died before giving up diet soda in law school. I ate carrots for the crunch and for a treat I had hot tamales because I can only eat so many before they make my mouth too hot. LOL!
