Sliced tomato with a sprinkle of feta and olive oil
Lunch left something to be desired? This savory dish will make your taste buds happy.

Vitamuffin VitaTop
Pop this vitamin-rich fudgy treat before a morning meeting and that Danish won't look so damn good.

Starbucks tall skinny latte
Score your caffeine fix along with a hunger-crushing 10-gram shot of protein and about a third of your daily calcium needs.

Banana
Naturally prepackaged goodness you can take anywhere, with the added benefit of cramp-preventing potassium.

½ cup edamame (measured shelled)
Eating this protein-packed pick-me-up out of the shell will help make the snack last longer.

3 cups air-popped popcorn
Go ahead, nibble mindlessly as you zone out in front of Bravo. Even if you're watching trash, you won't be eating it.

Quaker Instant Oatmeal (regular flavor)
This speedy fiber- and protein-packed breakfast also makes for a warm, filling snack.

Yoplait Light yogurt (fruit flavors)
This bone-building goodie provides 20 percent of your RDA for calcium and vitamin D.

8 shrimp and 4 Tbsp cocktail sauce
The perfect appetizer — and no one at the table will know you're counting calories.

2 Sargento Light String Cheese snacks
Any food you can play with is a great distraction; plus, the protein battles mid-afternoon hunger pangs.

Curves granola bar
Stash chocolate-peanut or strawberries-and-cream bars in your glove box to help you resist the lure of the drive-thru when you're on the road.

1 c baby carrots with 2 Tbsp hummus
The crunchy texture keeps choppers busy, and tangy hummus feeds your need for comfort food.

1 ¼ oz turkey jerky
When you must have meat, chew on this low-cal, low-fat power snack.

½ cantaloupe
Like most fruit, melon contains a lot of water. So you get a lot of food — and beta-carotene — for not a lot of calories.


1 c vegetable juice, such as V8, and 2 oz Oscar Mayer oven-roasted turkey breast
An antioxidant- and protein-rich hunger-buster.

1 Tbsp peanuts and 2 Tbsp dried cranberries
Toss together this pared-down trail mix and pre-measure into plastic baggies.

1 c strawberries and 3 Tbsp Cool Whip Free
For a totally guiltless dessert, dish up a bowl of this sweet, fiber-rich combo.

3 Amy's Cheese Pizza Snacks
These hot, crispy, cheesy bites are possibly the most satisfying late-night snack ever.

1 c raspberries with 2 Tbsp plain yogurt and 1 tsp honey
This sweet mix does the job until you can break away from your desk for a full meal.

2 egg whites with 1 slice whole wheat toast
This protein-and-carb duo gives you a light but energizing start when you have a belly-busting lunch on your calendar.

About ½ c frozen yogurt
When you crave a cool treat, dip into smooth and yummy fro-yo — it's nowhere near as high-calorie as ice cream.

5 Hershey's Special Dark chocolate kisses
A cocoa fix that's equally rich in chocolaty taste and disease-fighting antioxidants — what more could you want in a snack?

2/3 c Barbara's Bakery cinnamon Puffins cereal (dry)
Keep premeasured tubs in your desk drawer for an alternative to kettle chips when you're craving something crunchy.

1 oz yellowtail and 1 oz tuna sashimi with 1 packet Kikkoman Instant Tofu Miso Soup
Have it pre-party: The protein will keep you from wiping out the buffet.

18 Fat Free Rold Gold Tiny Twists
Kill a carbs-and-salt craving in a single snack session.

2 oz Veggie Land Veg-T-Balls with 2 Tbsp Muir Glen chunky tomato sauce
These low-fat vegetarian balls hit the spot.

Chocolate milk (1 c nonfat milk + 1 Tbsp Hershey's Lite chocolate syrup)
Quell your inner cocoa monster and get a hit of calcium.

1 Nutter Butter granola bar
This peanut bar tastes like something you'd get from the vending machine, minus the thigh-inflating effects.
