snacked
Grabbed a bite
Snacked is the past tense of snack, meaning to eat small amounts of food between regular meals or instead of them.
I snacked on chips while watching the game.
The word carries a casual, informal tone—snacking suggests eating without much planning or ceremony, often while doing something else.
