I live by 100cal popcorn and 8oz lite apple juice mixed w/ 80z water. Sweet and salty solved.

It does the trick at work and gets some of my water req. in!

Also Wasa bread can be awesome w/ a small amount of low fat/sugar peanut butter...it holds me over.

good luck to you!

I've been making my choices for the day the evening BEFORE. I find that I have fewer excuses if I have everything with me.

I pack my lunch and snackies and in the mornign I just go! I'm doing more of a South Beach thing right now, and swear by a handful of peantus and fresh green beans. NOM!

i like the kashi bars

I keep 100 Cal packs of various things, for those quick snacks.
I also have fruit cups, yogurt, veggies, crackers, almonds, little cans of tuna, gum, hummus, etc stored around so I have healthy options.

Nuts are great, but they tend to have a lot of fat and calories (even if it's the "good" fat). I keep almonds, pumpkin seeds and pretzels on hand for snacks. I use unsalted nuts, and I make sure I measure them in to a 1/4 cup before I start grazing on them. That way I'm sure I log them accurately.

mmm nuts sound good!!!

make sure that the snacks you are figured into your daily total allowance:
i make my own trail mix with 1/4 cup fresh sun-maid raisins mixed with 1/4 cup shelled walnuts, but it is high calorie, high energy and i eat that only once a day.

Then have a whole lot stored around. I actually leave mine in my desk/fridge. So I am not hauling back and forth. If you don't have a fridge that's okay. There are tons of options. IF you are HAVING to have something EVERY hour....you will have a larger quantity then me. Just remember to count everything you do eat. So you aren't oversnacking. I figure in my main meals the day before and then only have to worry about my snacks and know how much I can use.

Fiber One bars are yummy too.

If I pull them from the bin in the store how do I know the exact calories? I guess when i log it i can do and estimate. i miss the trail mix from jenny craig those are so good!!

You don't want other people eating your stuff, cause then you are always having to re-stock and that gets costly.

I usually eat a HG Brownie muffin for breakfast (recipe is on here somewhere). I usually have to eat and drive to work at the same time. (Only down side is, processed cake mix and higher in carbs and sodium then I would like.)
Lunch is usually a sandwich, I use a REALLY "grainy/seedy" bread. It will be higher in calories then traditional bread but it is more filling. I always use thin meat slices, real cheese, and limited condiments.
I LOVE Mission carb balance multi-grain tortillas, those would be awesome for wraps, if you can stand it toss in lots of veggies. I find I can eat spinach raw if I use it in a sandwich or wrap.
Fruit salads are wonderful to keep on hand.
My mom makes an amazing cabbage-apple-raisin salad.

You may have to pack a cooler and keep it at your desk or even keep things in your car (if you are allowed to go and get things from it). That may also limit continual snacking.

my supervisor is getting me a locked desk woo hoo!!! Speaking of tortillas My fiance and I make our own personal pizza out of tortilla so less carbs and add less sauce and lots of veggies its cheap and guilt free!! I also babysitt so when my cousins little ones come over they create their own tortilla pizza!!


Thanks for all the advice!!!
