What time is your lunchbreak at work? Surely not 10.30?

I would attempt to change your mealtimes. I get up at 6.30, but don't at my breakfast til 8.30. I then have lunch about 12.30-1, a coffee or snack mid afternoon then a big meal at about 8.30pm!

Too much processed stuff and sodium. Try greek yogurt, almonds, avocado, coconut butter/oil, maybe eggs for breakfast if you can (or another meal) with some cheese or something. Fruity cheerios aren't going to help you feel satiated.

Go back to whole foods, get some spinach for salads, no canned veggies, no processed lunch meats.

My diary is open if you want to look. Protein, good fats and some less processed carbs and low sodium.

Chicken. Seriously.

Bake a bunch of chicken breasts on Sunday. Season with salt and pepper and bake at 375F for 20-30 minutes. Make sure the internal temp is 160-165F.

Chop, slice, dice... portion out to 3oz servings. Zip top snack bags work great for this.

Now you have pre-portioned lean protein any time you need a snack. Go.

LOVE this idea. I'm going to do this for when i'm running out of protein to grab

Nuts, seriously go NUTS!
Also popcorn, edamame, and I really like the chicken idea.

Fiber and protein are the hardest for your body to digest, therefore keep you "full" the longest.
Stay away from carbs!

a double cheeseburger - for sure.

LOL!!!

I recently discovered Shirataki noodles (thanks Dr Oz)

They are in the produce section with the tofu as they are soy noodles.
8 oz package, 40 calories (yes 4-0), also high in protein, carbs, low fat.
With some salt free garlic herb seasoning or a bit of low sodium soy sauce - yum! And 8 oz is a lot of noodles

Yes, my lunch break is 10:30 to 11. My workday is 7am-2:20. I'm a high school teacher. I get up at 5:15 and get to school at 6:30.

Greek yogurt with pumpkin? That's interesting...I think I might try that! ;D

Muesli.
Its easy to control the portion size too, so you can make it fit however many calories you're allowing yourself for your snack.
Make sure you pick one with plenty of fiber and protein, not full of sugar.

Some that work for me:

1 tbsp of almonds and 1 stick of 2% sharp cheddar
1 gogurt
3 apple slices with 1 tbsp of reduced fat peanut butter

Eat an apple on your car ride home.

-baby carrots and hummus
-100 calorie popcorn pack (100 cals go a loong way with popcorn! maybe not the most nutrient-dense snack, but it is tasty.)
-yogurt

I sometimes have fiber one bars, too. There are the 140 calorie variety and the 90 calorie variety.
Also Kashi Golean cereal is sooo yummy and weirdly filling! As a snack I have it in a little bowl without milk, or carry a bit in a ziplock baggie, and just grab it like it's chex mix.

Protein bars are pretty good. "Pure Protein". I have a problem with snacking as well.
