I work during the entire evening, during dinner and two of my snacks.
does anyone know something I can munch on while at work. that is easy, and low cal.
I need something that doesn't need much preparation, and does not need a refrigerator.

    It really depends on what fits into your day and nutrition profile, but some of my go-tos include:
    protein bars
    beef jerky (I tend to look for lower sodium varieties)
    almonds
    trail mix
    fruit

    My favorite work snack is an apple, cut in half, the core scooped out and filled with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter (1/2 tablespoon in each half). I mush it back together and put it in a baggie and that helps prevent it from browning too much. You don't really need a refrigerator for it, but I keep it in a cooler bag with a freezer pack.

    KIND bars
    Nuts
    Bananas
    Popcorn
