So last week I had a major depression spell and I just couldn't figure out why. I just didn't want to do anything. I wanted to lay around and sleep all day long. All week long I just didn't understand why. So today I finally have a ton of energy and I think I totally figured it all out - I wasn't eating near enough!!

So I started classes again last week and am on campus from 8am until 8pm. It's a long day, I know, but it's only two days a week. I have three breaks during the day - only two that are long enough to actually get something decent to eat. Last week I brought yogurt, cottage cheese, and a large chicken salad with me (I typically have eggs/bacon for breakfast). Now I am trying to think of other things that I can take with me to class that I can snack on. The only things I can think of are veggies and nuts. Anybody have any other suggestions?

I also should mention that I can't have anything with wheat, oat, barley or rye due to a gluten allergy... Any suggestions would be great...

If you're used to bacon and eggs, why not make several breakfast sandwiches early in the week and put them in the fridge. Do you have access to a microwave during your breaks? You could heat them up for a quick meal. Also, how about taking a little peanut butter with you when you take fruit, the protien stays with you a long time.

fresh fruit
dried fruit
cheese sticks (eg string cheese)
beef jerky (not the best, but a little protein to stave off hunger)
celery with peanut butter
V-8 juice
soup
