I'm probably and hoarder, but I love to have different snacks on hand. A nice mixture of healthy and less healthy snacks.0 -
I love all these different ideas :bigsmile:
D (hubby) makes a packed lunch for me every day, which is usually enough although I sometims arrive home more than a little peckish.
Sometimes the kind of work I do means I have to get in early, which means a silly early start, and sometimes a late finish, which means home just in time to eat and fall into bed. It all depends on what the Programme is doing and how close we are to missing a deadline :noway:
There're four vending machines on three floors, one of which is just sugary drinks, apart from two lots of water, and the rest is chocolate, sweets, and crisps. There's not a single even halfway healthy option, so after core hours there's no other option :sad: , hence a small stash of healthy, tasty, and filling things in my bottom drawer0 -
Almonds
Johnsonville Bacon Jerky (shhhhhh...lol)
Quest Bars
Tuna0 -
Almonds and prepackaged protein shakes!0
-

When I am in the office studying and working on programmes for clients I snack on:
* Sunflower or Pumpkin Seeds
* An Oh Yeah! Peanut Crunch protein bar
* 2 Sachets of USN Whey Protein Isolate
* A Couple of Packets of Beef Jerky or Billtong
* Some Sliced hard boiled egg
* A handful of Almonds
Just a few ideas to keep you snack happy at work!0 -
Lime chili almonds, Indian chai tea bags, small container of protein powder0
-
Natural apple sauce cups, oatmeal with protein powder and cinnamon in zip-locs, protein powder, and green tea!0
-
All-bran chocolate chip bars, a tin of Timmy's French Vanilla instant coffee (sometimes I need a pick-me-up) and an assortment of herbal teas.0
-
bananas, dried figs and low fat cereal bars - I always have to have a snack before a lunchtime run and I find if I have something late afternoon I eat less for dinner0

MIO and Almonds0

Nothing. I pack exactly what I need every morning and take it with me.0
-
nothing. for me, snacking at work is just asking for trouble0
-
Nothing except the lunch I brought with me - a salad and a protein bar.0
-
2 bananas
1 cup of ramen noddles (I know. I know. wow the sodium. I'm a single mom. I do what it takes to keep cost down some days so my kids can eat healthier lunches than me. I feel zero guilt over it.)
A can of pears in juice
box of Young Living Slique tea
a bottle of honey
pack of sugar free lemon jello
a bottle of Young Living lemon oil0 -
MIO black cherry energy. Missed that.0

I eat OFTEN when I'm bored or just need something to distract my mind because I'm working really hard - a big part of why I'm here. On a particularly either slow or stressful day, I WILL end up at the vending machine and blowing 200 calories when just a silly little nibble would have been more than enough. So, my desk drawer contains a bag of pretzel sticks and a really good dark chocolate bar that breaks up into 30 tiny pieces. That way, when I'm feeling "snacky," I can grab like 12 pretzels or one nibble of chocolate and I'm pretty much good to go. It honestly doesn't tempt me THAT much at all - quite the opposite, it keeps temptation away, because I know it's there if I "need" it. I also keep my granola bars in there, but that's just for convenience so that I don't have to pack one every day.
Whoops - also forget, I also have K cups, and then sea salt, mustard, and balsamic vinegar - the few things that I cannot live without and if I forgot them on a day my lunch called for them, my day would be ruined :laugh: .0 -

A good variety of snacks (calorie-wise). I have everything from a 60 - 290 cals so I can fit a little in when I feel like it. I usually have one snack per day. And tons of tea.
Various teas
Splenda
Couple varieties of Nuts & Spices Kind bars
Nature Valley crunchy granola bars
Homemade peanut almond snack bars (sort of like a rice krispy treat, but not)
Protein bars
Vosges Mo's Caramel0 -
Last time I checked, there was less than half of a small bag of planters salted peanuts. I don't usually snack at work. Lol....
Oh wait I forgot... There's also a small box of various types of tea that I've acquired over the years but never drank. :laugh:0 -
Not a lot...but that's because I don't really snack. I'm more of a 3-meals-per-day eater.
In my desk drawer there is a peach granola bar, which isn't too appetizing and not the highest quality around, a fortune cookie, and 7 different types of tea bags (jasmine, black tea, chai, vanilla rooibos, etc)
In the little break room/fridge at work I have a container of peanut butter and 3 Laughing Cow light herb wedges. Sometimes I bring in cut up celery or carrots.0 -
I have a dedicated space for food:
Breton crackers
Blueberry brown sugar with flax Lifestyle cookies - I don't like them
Oats
Peanut Butter
Chipotle Hot Sauce
Multiple flavours of Tea
Multiple types of Coffee
Granola
Plus a fruit bowl on my desk
In the fridge, I have cheese to go with the Breton crackers and Homemade jam. I need to buy more milk and greek yogurt.0 -
