    Better Oats Oatmeal. 140ish calories per pack, has flax seed in it, great for keeping in the desk at work(you can measure the water with the package the oats come in!) Oh, it also comes in a chocolate flavor that I eat at night instead of a big bowl of ice cream.

    Flatout Wraps
    Chocolate Almond Milk
    Fresh Fruit (Always bananas and blueberries, the rest changes based on season and taste. Right now I am eating grapes and pineapple a bunch)
    Lean lunch meats
    Sargento Ultra Thin sliced cheese
    Lots of other vegetables like baby carrots, broccoli, and the like
    Baba Ganoush/Hummus
    Guacamole/Salsa
    Salad Mix
    Cucumbers
    Tomatoes
    Bolthouse Farms Yogurt Dressing
    Maple Grove Farms Balsamic
    Nuts or a snack mix with them
    Peanut Butter
    Lean Meat (portioned out and frozen. I have salmon, tilapia, pork chops, pork tenderloin, ground beef, steaks, and chicken thighs atm)
