    Almonds, apples, oranges, protein bars, dry multigrain unsweetened cereal,

    Get us an ice pack and put it in your lunch bag to keep perishable foods good for the day. Yogurt, string cheese, veggies and hummus, low sodium pickles, almond milk, turkey or chicken, avocado slices, boiled eggs.

    One of my favorite snacks is a couple of pieces
    If oven Roasted turkey deli meat wrapped around a piece of string cheese. Full of protein, and about 100 calories depending on the brands you use!

    Just make sure you weigh everything to ensure that you have an accurate logging of the calories. Good luck!!

    Apples, oranges, grapes, nuts, carrot & celery sticks. I second the recommendation to get an ice pack and keep it in your lunch bag - then you can take yogurt and other snacks that need to stay cold.

    agree with the turkey roll-up; one slice of deli turkey breast is only 30 cals and 6-8g of protein. ditch the oranges as they are loaded with (natural, yes, but still) sugar. if you like edamame, Costco has the microwaveable pouches. broccoli and cauliflower florets, grape tomatoes, baby carrots, sliced English cucumbers; if you "need" dip you could try tzatziki or another lo-fat yogurt variety. Canned chicken or canned tuna in water has next to zero fat, lots of protein; mix with cottage cheese and you will be very satisfied for 3-4 hours.

    You could always think about an ice pack to place in cooler.

    Boiled eggs
    Quest Bars
    Quest Protein Shake (They are amazing and only 110 calories.)
    Tuna packets
    Make a baggie of veggies
    Pickles
    Krave brand jerky is really good. I especially like the Black Cherry BBQ
    Baby-Bel cheeses

    If you do not want to worry about making snacks for work I suggest graze. They are amazing and tasty! You can have them delivered right to your home or work (which is awesome for people forgetting their snacks at home all the time). Just go to graze.com to check them out.

    Everything that has been listed, I also get the 100 calorie bags of plain almonds - 1 box for work, 1 box for the house (or I go to a place where it sells almonds by weight and just get a bunch of that and measure them out into my own ziplock bags).
    Also, plain popcorn is good.

    I buy almonds, walnuts and pecans with NO salt from Costco. I mix them in a large bowl. Then I put a handful in a snack bag and bring them to work. No need to refrigerate. However, it does make quite a few bags so I freeze the rest and take what I need when I need them. Lots of protein and fiber.

    My car is my office. All I bring is a large insulated cooler bag filled with whatever items I would normally eat. I haven't died from anything not being refrigerated. I have brought along wraps, fruit or veg slices, sandwiches, yogurts, fruit salads, veggies, salads of all kinds, stir fries, all kinds of left overs, water, etc.

    I eat the same thing every day at work (well, I alternate every other day) ... tons of water, a couple cups of coffee, hard boiled eggs, banana with peanut butter, soup in hand tomato, mixed nuts, yogurt, Mini-wheats, Clif bar, granola clusters (in the bag) and occasionally a Nutri-grain bar. Carrots if I remember in the morning - and a couple times a week a spinach salad with fresh mozzarella. Late in the afternoon, I usually have a Lifesavers peppermint or two to busy myself, rather than start fantasizing about going to the CVS for a Pounder bag of M&Ms.

    Not perfectly healthy, but a whole lot better than crackers and chocolate, which used to be in my desk drawer. And with the list above, I am *always* eating, lol! I usually get half of my calories for the day at work.

    Thanku everyone for such great ideas:). I do take a lunch bag with a frozen bottle in it which works pretty well most of the time, tho it gets fairly hot here. I have started trying a few different things, vita weets with Vegemite, a fruitey kellog bar thing, bananas and I'm picking apples so I can have 1 of those anytime I want ( as long as i wash it 1st). I want 2 start trying some different salads and also nuts as well.

    Ditch oranges? Worst advice.
    Also fat is good for you.

    So your advice is to stop eating fruit, have no carbs AND no fat? That's truly terrible advice

    You didnt get the memo? Carbs, fat, and sugar(evan naturally occuring!!!) is the DEBIL!!

    Let's by everything that says low fat, low carlorie, low carb, new miracle product that will make us lose 18 pounds in 2.5 hours. Nevermind the fact that it is processed to hatias and back, it's better. :)

    (side note: i, too, eat processed, fast food, fried, extra whipped cream, can i get that supersized. it's all about moderation in anything! HAHA)
