Don't let the stress eating win.

Finals can lead to the inevitable binge snacking and stress eating. If you're not careful, an entire bag of chips can empty without you even realizing it while you're trying to understand a concept. There are, however, healthy snacks you can pack and bring with you that will be much less dangerous. 

Try grabbing a bag of baby carrots and putting them in a ziploc bag instead of chips. They're crunchy and healthy, and, at 4 calories a stick, much better than a bag of chips. If you grab some hummus with them, you're set with a healthy snack that also packs in protein. Things like celery and cherry tomatoes are good options too. 

You can also try SkinnyPop popcorn and rice cakes. SkinnyPop comes in a ton of flavors and only averages about 40 calories a cup. My personal favorite is the white cheddar kind — it's a cheesy, satisfying snack with very little fat and calories. Quaker rice cakes are similar. They come in a really portable package and also have different flavors that are either savory or sweet, depending on your preference.

If you're more of a grab-and-go person while you're out and about, Starbucks has really healthy boxes that come in a range of options. The protein one is great and comes with an egg and some cheese, as is the hearty rice bowl. The dining program recently revamped their selections and have a ton of salads that beat the ones last year by far. For delivery, places like Basil are great in being satisfying and healthy with a ton of different options.

Hope these tips will help, and best of luck on finals to my fellow Hoos!
