Healthy Snack Ideas for Work

NightOwl88

Greetings Fitness Pals!

I've started to continue my weight loss journey again, and just like when I first started... those first few weeks of cutting my calorie count down, I feel hungry and my stomach grumbles, all the time.

It was suggested that I carry around healthy snacks to help curb the hunger (as well as drink more water).

Do ya'll have any good snacks that you've found are low calorie and help during the day? Something more creative than "veggies in a bag" or "nuts"?

I do have access to a refrigerator at work, so keep that in mind

Thanks for your input!

I follow a low-carb diet because I find it very filling, so I look for snacks that are high in protein and fat. Here are some of my faves:

- Flavoured almonds (Blue Diamond Hababanero BBQ and Wasabi Soy are awesome)
- Pepperoni sticks
- Cheese strings
- Protein bars (Quest usually)
- Beef jerky
- Pickles
- Hard-boiled eggs

Sugar free jello (aka jelly in UK) with a little fruit added to it before it sets. I eat it with fat free cottage cheese (high in protein) and it's yummy

Thanks everyone!

You all caught a little of everything I like!

Spicy Almonds, Yogurt + Granola + Coconut, Cottage cheese (totally forgot about that!).

I don't remember if quark is a thing in the US (otherwise just use low fat yogurt or skyr, if you have that) but in summer, my favourite thing to take to work with me is that with some fresh fruit (berries are my favourite) blended in. If the fruit isn't sweet enough, I mix in a bit of stevia or - if calories allow it - a tiny bit of sugar.

air popped popcorn, sometimes with a few chocolate chips when its still hot, protein coffee drink (any coffee you like + protein + cream/milk), chicken chunks, cubed cheese, cherry tomatoes on a skewer with mustard to dip, banana with PB + a bit of trail mix sprinkled on top, cottage cheese and fruit, ham or turkey lunch meat + string cheese or laughing cow and a pickle rolled up, string cheese and tomatoes, watermelon always lol.

Flavored rice cakes, Popchips, Kind bars, hummus and guacamole cups.

Don't know if there's a TJ Maxx, Ross, or Marshalls near you, but at the registers they usually have a treasure trove of variety packs of snacks- dried fruits, granola bars, Kind bars, biscotti, Asian rice crackers, tortillas, nuts, quinoa snacks, etc. I pick one up every week and keep one on my desk at work for when a craving hits.

i like putting a few frozen raspberries in a container with some vanilla yoghurt as my "dessert". would probably work with greek yoghurt too but i'm not a huge fan of it.

other than that i'm hella boring and eat fruit for my snacks lol.
