Suggestions for At-Work Mini-Meals
 

What are your favorite snacks/mini-meals when you're at work?

(I finally broke down and checked what I *was* having on Fitday, and OMG, was I on the wrong track!)

Thanks!

I like to keep a bag of carrots and/or grapes on my desk. Also, I keep food in one drawer of my filing cabinet. I keep a selection of canned pineapple, packets of instant oatmeal, Fiber One bars a box of Townhouse Reduced Fat Crackers (Keebler) that I like to have with a wedge of Laughing Cow Cheese, and usually some of those small packets of tuna. We have a refrigerator where I keep the Laughing Cow Cheese.

I have to keep something or the vending machines start calling my name. :)

I take some type of fruit with me every day.

My 10am snack is almost always a babybel light cheese. In the afternoon, I always have 1 or 2 snacks on hand so I'm never tempted to have that cake in the office or the chips lying around. Almonds, blueberries, peanut butter on a whole grain english muffin, pear, hard boiled egg whites...healthy, yet filling and delicious!

I found these cocoa dusted almonds that I've been taking with me almost every day. The 1-2 oz provides me with a good punch of protein AND calms my chocolate craving in the same instance! And they are very low in sugar. I believe they are made by Emerald....

When I worked somewhere that had a microwave, I used to keep a sweet potato in my desk drawer.

The Laughing Cow package says refrigerate after opening, so you could keep them in your desk. I haven't tried this yet.

I keep oatmeal packets, tea bags, unsalted nuts, dried fruit.

I like those Nature Valley fibre granola bars although they're kind of sweet (but only 2 points for WW).

I keep hummus and carrots in the fridge at work. There's usually a few pieces of fruit in my desk, along with a Kashi granola bar.

I always have an apple (or rarely another piece of fruit), along with some protein. I used to always have string cheese, but I am eliminating cheese from my diet (ok, slowly!), so now I have 12 almonds or a tbsp of peanut butter. I am always starving by 10 am so I have this one then.

I get off at 3:10 so I have my afternoon snack at home if I even eat one. Usually air popped popcorn with sea salt or triscuits and hummus. I guess either could be adapted for at work use, though. 100 calorie mini popcorn bags would be easy.

I usually have a piece of fruit, a sugar free Jello pudding, a fruit cup or those cocoa dusted almonds. Sometimes a high fiber granola bar or some popcorn. I'm a big snacker.

Bananas
String cheese
Lara bars
baby carrots & fat free ranch dip
banana chips
dried pineapple

Almonds, fruit, yogurt, tea, water. That's pretty much it for me.

yogurt, cottage cheese, all sorts of fruits, a small salad with sunflower seeds, sometimes the 100 calorie popsecret popcorn. all very yummy and keeps me satisfied for a while.

Yoghurt, fruit, muesli bars, small tins of tuna, nuts, tea, hummous and veges.
