kaybrose730

Got a great new office job. But now that i'm not running around all day like i did at my last job I'm worried about gaining my weight back. Need some filling snacks or small meal ideas to bring with me to work so i don't over induldge in crappy foods. Already have my almonds but i can only eat a few before i get bored of them

Please Help!

I have a desk job too. I snack on pop corn, mini rice cakes, fiber one bars or brownies(yummy), veggies or string cheese,

Veggie sticks with nut butter or hummus. Fruit. If you have a fridge, yogurt or cottage cheese. High fiber granola bars. Dry roasted edamame. These are few of my favorties to snack on at my desk.

Make sure you have the fridge and/or a desk drawer stocked with healthy munchies just in case. Here are some of my go-to options:

fruit & veggies
oatmeal
yogurt
craisins/ dried cranberries
whole grain cereal
natural peanut butter
graham crackers
cheese sticks
nuts
microwave popcorn
popchips
terra chips
salad dressing

I'm a big fan of these Nature Valley Granola Thins - I got the dark chocolate kind. It was so tasty
Others I'm fond of:
+ Yogurt
+ Laughing Cow Spreadable cheese wedges + club mini crackers
+ Celery sticks with peanut butter (or cream cheese)
+ Almonds (I know you already mentioned them, but I eat them constantly!)
+ Welch's Fruit Snack packs

if you like Almonds, but get bored with just snacking on them... make your own trail mix (it will be yummier and better for you and less expensive than store bought)
i like almonds, dried banana chips, dried cranberries, and dark chocolate chips/m&ms... sometimes for more crunch and slaty i'll add mini pretzels.
another mix i do is peanuts, yogurt covered raisins, and banana chips.

You could always try to find ways to exercise too. With my last job, I took the bus but it let me off 35 mins from where I worked (it didn't go by there) and I walked it every morning and evening. So I got atleast 70 mins of walking mon-fri in addition to anything else I might do extra.

I did the same thing when I was in college. I worked out alot prior, but because I was in a condensed course my brain was totalling fried when I was done each day so I didn't have it in me to exercise. I found the only time I had energy was in the morning before classes so I walked to school... about 45mins to an hour of a walk. It wasn't ideal, but it was something.

same things as others have listed. string cheese, hard boiled eggs, fiber one bars, oatmeal (in case I don't have time for breakfast at home), apples or other fruit, can of soup (in case I forget my lunch). For lunch I usually bring a salad from home, I add all kinds of things (not all of them at the same time though) grapes, raisens, real bacon bits, cheese, hard boiled eggs, sunflower seeds, leftover chicken breast, croutons. I never get bored of it because its so good. I try to get up from my desk as often as posible, walk to deliver documents to coworkers, etc.

I love hard boiled eggs, but i don't want my coworkers to go crazy smelling eggs! Guess they can just get over it right?!
