What do you all do for snacking while in the stand?

Water
granola bar x2
peanuts
sandwhich
jerky

Pretty basic
 
I'm pretty much in line with you except I'll substitute almonds for peanuts. I'll usually bring an extra small bottle of water with some sort of flavored mix for lunch. I also like Subway sandwiches. They tend to fill me up more than one I'd make on my own.

I've determined that the max consecutive days I can eat a Subway sub is 5. I couldn't eat it on day 6 last year. :D
 
My fruit snacks, granola bars and pretty much everything else used to freeze solid as a rock. Now, I wrap them in tin foil with a hot hands warmer. The sweet n' salty bars are gooey and chewy for hours. My gummy bears are squishy and gummy, my fruit snacks are fruitier than ever. In the words of Maui......."You're welcome".
 
I've recently been buying those flavored tuna pouches. It may seem weird to eat just tuna but that jalapeno flavored one has me hooked
 
I usually don't eat much during a hunt even on long sits.

I will grab some sunflower seeds & a big water every now & then bout it.
 
Granola bar, peanuts, peanut butter crackers, snickers bar and either coffee or soft drink. I don't take all thar every day that's just snacks I keep on hand to choose from. Oh I forgot apples.
 
Mt Dew, Nutter Butters, blueberry Cliff bars. I never sit all day. I will get down and go eat lunch. I may or may not go back to the same stand. I have roughly a dozen stands. Game cams have never had pictures of deer in the middle of the day.

During the rut anything can happen. Just last year in early November, I missed this 130" 10 point at 12:30, and my buddy killed him the following day.


I was 30 yards from this deer (again in early November) when this pic was taken at 11:30 AM.

A few days earlier around noon, I was sitting on the ground in front of that camera with a dead doe (the orange flagging above his left brow tine was marking her blood trail) around noon when a big 10 came trotting up behind a doe. The doe stopped when she crossed the blood trail, and the buck stopped within 5 yards of me staring away. It was a great experience.

They may be just be missing your cameras. I definitely think it's worth sitting all day in the first half of November.

Back on track... another snack I like are the little apple sauce pouches. They're really durable, quiet, and the trash from them compacts nicely. Another tip is to take your Clif bars, Kind bars, or anything with a loud wrapper and put them in a sandwich bag while you're at home.
 
I take several bars and a vitamin water. I always remove the bars from their packaging and place them in cheap sandwich bags. They are much quieter this way.
 
Wish I could make myself sit longer. 3 hours in the morning is about the longest I will go. Occasionally 3.5-4

Apple, clif bar, sunbelt granola bars, other various bars, little Debbie pumpkin delights, oatmeal creme pies, trail mix, Gatorade, water....usually a combo of 3 or 4 of those things on any given trip. More food for longer sits usually. Just depends on what I got and what I feel like bringing. Some days I'm hungry and eat it all in the first hour and some days I don't even finish what I bring.

Not really a fan of eating in the stand. I eat breakfast which will get me through. I've taken food before, but getting it out, moving, noise, etc...I just soon wait. Afternoon hunts, no food needed.
 
I rarely sit longer than 3 hours. After that it becomes like work for me. The only time i ever take anything other than Ricola cough drops is when the temps get in the low 20's or lower and then I take a thermos of hot soup for the warmth rather than actual hunger. But I only do this if I'm sitting in a blind looking over a field so that I won't be seen lifting the thermos when I eat.
 
Almonds. Peanut butter crackers, beanie weenies (I know I shouldn't) oatmeal crème pies. Gatorade and water mainly. 1 coke for some caffeine pickup.
