The following question was asked on Reddit:

I work until 4:00 on the weekdays and find that I am starving afterwards. I want to start an evening Bikram class once a week but I don’t want to over eat and eat nothing at all. What is something to eat that is good before Bikram that will fulfill my appetite a little and not make me too full? Also how much water should I drink?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Ultimately, your body requirements are highly unique (and they change day-to-day, and decade over decade). The over-aching suggestion is: experiment. Play with it. Try to avoid jumping to conclusions with limited data. And, when you think you reached a conclusion, try to avoid holding on to it too strongly. You might find that your food intake during the cold winter does not work the same during the hot summer, and your hydration needs in the middle of the humid monsoon is different in dry season!

as fast as your specific question and what munchies might work- how about some fruits or nuts 1-2 hours before class?
