I go to college and every day I pack a small lunch bag and I fill it up with all sorts of yummy stuff. A quarter to a third of a cucumber, a few yougurts, some fruit. Tomato juice. I drink my 8 cups of water.

Because of my classes and homework the only meal I'm garanteed to actually sit down at is dinner. Sometimes breakfast. So I graze and when every I'm hungry I eat from my lunchbag.

The problem is that some days I don't get my base calories! It's 7pm right now and I'm at 1024 I'm not hungry! In fact I just had a big dinner I couldn't eat another bite!!( I even stole one of my sister evil snack cakes! it was carrot cake (150 cal) so it's not too bad)

I'm worried to because I'm running around campus everyday. My pedometer always says at LEAST 16000. Any tips for healthy stuff that I can easily pack in a small lunch bag and are a bit heavier in cals?

    you need more food throughout the day.
    Loss of appetite is a sign of starvation ya know....
    Pack dried fruits/trail mix, nuts, cheese sticks, crackers....etc.

    You gotta get more in you if you want to see results.
  • walnuts...they don't really fill you up but 1 oz has 180 GOOD calories in them!
