During finals week, I know I tend to be stressed. One of the ways I deal with stress is by eating. In my sorority, we call finals week "zero calories week" meaning that we don't think about calories at all. I have done some research on what kinds of snacks to eat during finals week. These choices are healthy, so there is no need to watch how many calories you are eating. Unless you just can't stop eating, then you have a problem.
Here are snacks in each food groups:
Grains: Whole-grain cereal, bagels, tortillas and graham crackers.
Vegetables: Raw veggies like broccoli, tomatoes, carrots, bell peppers and vegetable juice.
Fruit: Apples, bananas, pears and berries
Dairy: Yogurt, pudding, cheese slices, milk and frozen yogurt.
Meat and Beans: Tuna, nuts, peanut butter and cooked chicken.
These are just some healthy suggestions from My Pyramid to help you prepare for finals week to avoid eating junk food.
