My job really doesn't allow for a lunch break (the schedule is funny, don't ask) so we're pretty busy all day for anywhere from 8 hours to ten or eleven a day. I like the fact that breaks don't give me enough time to get a fatty snack, but I'd like to start bringing little baggies of something to munch on during the day. I love pretzels so want to bring those.....any other ideas? Raw nuts or something?

    kalamata olives, string cheese, hard boiled eggs, plain whole fat yogurt, whole fat cheese, small salad, nuts, homemade larabar, guacamole with veggies

    That's all I can think of right now! I don't really snack that often, as I usually consume 500 calories or more for breakfast!

    Cheese sticks, carrot sticks, celery, grapes, raisins, multi grain crackers (saltines and wheatables are what I fall back on), chicken wraps, trail mix (kind of high in calories and sugar but still a tasty snack), snack pack applesauce containers, apple wedges.

    Can't think of much more to snack on.

    I pop a bag of 100 calorie popcorn before I leave the house and dump it in a big plastic bag. Keeps the bordom munchies away.

    My other favorite is veggies and different types of hummus.

    LOTS of water. :)
