    Well, I heard of it in the past at WW meetings and then one of my friends on this site told me about it too so I just had to try it. Honestly, when I first made it -- it was just alright and I wasn't so sure. BUT then I put it in the fridge overnight and it hardened up a little and it's seriously to die for!

    OK enough w/ my babbling -- here's the recipe:

    --1 whole container of fat free cool whip
    --I can of pure pumpkin
    --1 package of SF/FF butterscotch instant Jello pudding (the original recipe says use 1/2 package, but I always use the whole so it's sweeter)

    You just mix it all up together and refrigerate. One serving is 2tbs and it's sooo yummy! I dip my apples in it; spread it on my waffle in the morning; and grab a spoon to satisfy my sweet tooth. It's so yummy!

    Sunflower seeds. The effort needed to eat them (and the saltiness) keeps me from eating more than a serving at any given time, but they're great for when I just want to snack on something. Plus they're delicious, especially some of the flavored kinds (LOVE David Jumbo Buffalo Ranch seeds!)

    Just make sure you have a convenient container to dispose of the shells in. ;)

    I keep boiled eggs, tuna, veggies, hummus, string cheese and chocolate protein shakes, if I want something sweet. Oh and turkey and cheese roll ups.

    (I can't do crunchies, that's a total trigger food for me).

    When I'm at work and need a snack, I usually take one of those tiny food bags and stuff it with nuts and seeds (20g-40g) and put it in my pocket. If you can't find a little food bag, just put the nuts in your trouser pocket (make sure they're something like peanuts or almonds etc that are big enough not to get stuck to the bottom of your pocket). Take a two minute break and go to the staff room, drink some water and eat from the little packet, or (don't think bad of me!), go to the toilet to take a leak and just eat the packet there and then. I know nuts/seeds can get a little expensive, but if you go to some stores they sometimes have good deals. Otherwise I just get salted peanuts and wash the salt away thoroughly - really cheap option!

    If your staff room has cupboards for storage, keep a Tupperware container and put a protein powder in it, keep a shaker nearby and just drink 20g of it on your break - it takes 1 minute!

    Cottage cheese, casein protein powder with water, beef jerkey, rice crackers, almonds. Any food containing no / low sugary carbs for between meals is my general rule.

    ... And lots of coffee
