Hello everyone! I'm new here to myfitnesspal and I'm looking forward to starting my weight loss journey with everyone. :) This is my first attempt at any sort of long-term weight loss and lifestyle change, so I'm hoping it goes well!

I'm currently a second-year university student and I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for healthy snacks during long days at school or long study sessions. I've been trying to load up on fruits during the day but the sugar in them often adds up and I end up exceeding my daily sugar levels. I'm looking for anything low-carb and low-sugar. And if any of you are university/college students, please let me know of your tips to staying healthy while in school!

Thanks :)

    I have moved to almonds to snack on. The sugar is low and the fat/fiber helps me not get as hungry.

    Edamame (eat the same day; don't let them moulder at the bottom of your backpack), Old cheddar, light. Simply Whey snack bar. Single serving yogurt, greek yogurt, or yogurt drink. Premier protein shake. Dates stuffed with a walnut half and light laughing cow wedge.

    I'm a second year student to. When I'm in from 9am-6pm I prepare something to eat throughout the day. Normally its brown rice, a small amount of chicken mixed with as many types of steamed veg I have- it keeps my energy levels up and is really filling that's how it lasts me all day:) I've lost 24lbs so far so it must be working.

    Cut up carrot/celery/apple with a tablespoon of peanut butter (I use PB2 though so thats about 20ish cals 1Tbsp).
    Something kind of random that I also like to do is get a hard boiled egg, cut it in half and then mix a triangle of the Laughing Cow Light Cream Cheese with the yolk and maybe a bit of mustard and TADA delicious low calorie deviled eggs :)

    I really like protein bars for taking to campus, because they are easily portable and help fit my macros. I don't really go for fruit on it's own, because I often find it makes me want to eat more for some reason. So, for snacks, I go for things with satisfying protein and fat.

    This basically, plus ready cooked chicken, canned tuna, roasted chickpeas, hard boiled eggs (I boil batches in my kettle and put them in the fridge in their shells, then just grab and go) and cottage cheese. I find out of all of this, hard boiled eggs and cooked chicken/tuna are the most filling.

    Satsumas!! They are really refreshing and only 22 cals, so you can have like 4 of them in a row and still not feel guilty!
