I don't know what kind of access to food you have where you're currently living, but when I was a vegan (I'm having to reintroduce animal products now that I'm preparing my body to move to Tanzania) Tofurkey lunch "meat" was a staple simply because it had so much protein. Whenever I was out with friends, they'd laugh because--regardless of where we were--I could pull out a package of tofurkey and have something to nibble on while they ate. Same with Boca burgers, though they definitely don't travel as well. If you're not on a really strict food plan in regards to allergies or anything, nut butters or hummus with crackers; granola; and nuts can work pretty well too.

CurvyGirls is an awesome form of activism to include in your applications. I think it says a lot that you were able to bring together such a flourishing internet community passionate about the same/similar thing. It can be so discouraging to fill out all those scholarship applications, but--at least in my experience--college is such an incredible opportunity for growth and the ability to encounter new ideas and dialogue about them is so worth all the trouble it takes to make it happen.
