    Nothing. I pack exactly what I need every morning and take it with me.

    Nothing except the lunch I brought with me - a salad and a protein bar.

    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 oil

    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: .

    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 Caramel

    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:

    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.

    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.
