Hey! 14/f. I'm just wondering if anyone has every been through a situation like this: well I'm a freshman in HS now and I'm kinda worried about my lunch period. School hasn't started for me yet but I'm kinda concerned. My school starts at 7:15am, which means I'm going to have to eat breakfast before I go on the bus, which will end up being about 6:15-6:30 in the morning. My lunch period is going to be at 12:35pm. This means I will have to wait almost 6 hours to eat...and I'm kinda concerned because last year I could barely last 3-4 hours. Well I can't change my schedule or switch lunch periods, the school has already made it clear that we have to stick with the schedule they gave us. I just wanted to know if anyone had any ideas on what I can eat that will fill me up for 6 hours that I can prepare in the morning/or the night before school. Or any snacks I could jam in the hallway in-between classes. Thanks in advance!

Yeah, that's a tough one. My advice: eat plenty for breakfast, more than usual. Have a bowl of cereal, plus a piece of fruit, plus a cup of yogurt, plus half a bagel(Just an example, mix it up a little bit). I try to eat two servings of bread, a serving of fruit, and a serving of dairy on most mornings just because it seems to satisfy me for a long time. Eat your fiber for breakfast, it sits in your stomach longer (bread and fruit and veggies) and protien fills you up too (dairy products have quite a bit of protien). Then, pack a few snacks with you to school. Granola bar, energy bar, pretzels, crackers, popcorn, nuts, grapes, anything. Just keep those in your locker and grab some when you need a boost. Also, some teachers don't mind if you snack on something in class, as long as it doesn't make a mess. Most teachers will understand the situation, so if you just politely ask if its okay if you bring a snack to the class, they usually say yes.
