running out of snack ideas

clewliss

With my job, I eat my oatmeal and out the door before 6:40 am! By 10:00 I am starting to get a little hungry and I bring crackers and cheese usually to work with me for a snack and usually soup or salad for lunch, but this cracker thing is getting old and I also realized that it's a 200 calorie or more snack when I feel like I've had nothing! Any ideas?

I like to bring a baggie of one or two cups of dry cereal with me to work. Gets rid of the 'munchies' craving, and if you get a cereal that's healthy then the calorie count isn't too bad.

Yogurt
Sliced roast beef wrapped around string cheese
Peanuts or tree nuts

i like to pack a hard boiled egg, and fruit or veggies that are cut and in a cute little baggie. I then munch all day long. Hope this helps!

I eat applesauce and string cheese. Try and find a lean protein (hard boiled egg, low fat yogurt, light cheese, fat free hot dog etc) to eat along with a fruit. It makes a good snack! And the protein helps to keep you full longer.

If I stick to protein snacks I tend to not get as hungry as quickly as when I eat carbs or fruit...

I've created my own nut and dried fruit mixture and eat 1/4 cup inbetween meals. It's about 150 cal. A boil egg would work also or high protein bars like Balance.

hope that helps;

Greek Yogart around 120 cal
Fruit (if you have a small belender you can make a fruit smoothie)
cheese sticks (the one I have is 80 calories)
nuts
granola or trail mix
veggies (carott sticks, celery sticks)
smoked salmon slices
deli meat slices

Hope that helps.
