Gah, trying to avoid the catering!

I am a graduate student, so when I get together for meetings, fatty and salty foods are usually there. I managed to dodge everything this week. I am proud of myself!
Monday Seminar: Doghnuts and coffee
Tuesday Semnar: Cookies and coffee
Wednesday Lab Meeting: Pizza and Coke
Friday Lab Meeting: Pizza, cookies, and Coke

(Yes, I also wonder when I am supposed to get stuff done. So many meetings.)

Does anyone have any tips, other than willpower, on avoiding this stuff?

Bring your own goodies! On somedays, have what everyone is having, in moderation. Good Luck!

Boy, do I know what you mean. I travel a lot and I attend many conferences and seminars so it's really hard to eat healthy. I stay away from the cookies and cokes but I do eat the pizza (toppings only) and count it against my calorie intake. On the weeks I travel I'm finding it hard to just maintain the weight and not gain any new fat.

Other than bringing your own snacks, like Jillian suggests, I really don't have a solution so it's will power and moderation and a lot of empathy from here.

I would eat them but just like half a donut or one slice of pizza and be very careful the rest of the day!!!
