I was hoping I could get some more ideas for some snacks I can pack with me to work. I am trying to stay away from granola bars and I'm getting a little bored of apples. I usually have a boiled egg and whole grain toast for breakfast and a salad with a protein for lunch... just to give an idea of what I'm already eating.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    my #1 go to snacks are almonds and dried fruit because I can keep them in my office and they won't spoil so they are always on hand. I also like yogurt and on days when I know I have a strenuous workout coming after work I'll snack on a Luna bar (they're usually around 200 ish calories).

    Laughing cow cheese is an excellent snack too. :)

    Fibre One bars are way healthier and honestly- far better tasting than granola bars!
    I like to mix up cheerios, dried cranberries and peanuts in a bowl or bag as well.. The dried cherry infused cranberries are awesome!!

    My new favorite snack is Air Popped Popcorn.....3 cups popped is only 60 calories and I add Ranch popcorn seasoning for only 2 calories a 1/4tsp......It's a great snack for when I want something salty, but low in cal :smile:

    A trick I learned from MFP is to remove the yolk from hard boiled eggs and replace with hummus. It is very good with a side of some veggies. My snacks usually mean "break-time" so today, I had a Pure Protein bar with coffee/cream for 220 cals and this afternoon, I am having a Luna bar with hot tea for 190 calories.

    My other snack is usually greek yogurt with fruit or with pistachios...sometimes with honey.

    I just made these oatmeal bars, and I really liked them. No added sugar. I substituted the skim milk with almond/coconut milk, and used dates and bananas instead of just dried fruit. http://www.katheats.com/favorite-foods/baked-oatmeal-snack-bars

    Cheese is a good snack. Or you could do chicken or tuna salad (make it yourself with light mayo and fresh celery/onions/bell peppers then you know exactly how to portion and what the nutrition info is) - mix with lettuce or put on crackers. I like those laughing cow cheese wedges. 35 cals each and enough to spread on half a bagel. the french onion is so good. Half a bagel with one wedge of laughing cow is under 200. You could also put it on crackers or wasa or whatever.... and I know apples can get old but theres lots of other fruits... carrot sticks with dip, or make a low cal spinach dip. Light mayo, diced onions and tomatoes, plenty of spinach and a pack of dried soup or spinach dip mix. Sometimes I just spread that on a piece of rye bread its delicious. Do popcorn or a small serving of chex and toss it in different seasonings - parmesan, italian seasoning, garlic powder/salt, cinnamon sugar, chili powder.... i'm always trying to think of diff snack ideas = ) be creative

    I was going to suggest homemade granola bars, as they are my current go-to snack for work and carry me all the way from mid-afternoon, through my post-work workout, to dinner.

    I've got nothing else lol. So, I'm snooping to see what others have to say.

    I just had fresh pomegrante seeds the other day. They are awesome! The pomegrantes are only seasonal. They are in season right now. I dont know the calories but they are a healthy snack
