    An Apple or fruit of some kind
    Cheese stick
    beef stick
    vegies

    I tend to "go lookin'" about 11 for a snack of sorts. I start work at like 530 and Im outta the office at 230 most days so I dont do a normal lunch routine. I tend to have a breakfast of sorts right after I get to work because I simply cannot eat when I wake up at 2-230a.m. By 6 or so Im getting the muchies and will have one or two of the above and that constitutes breakfast.

    Then around 9 or so I do a repeat. By 1130 Im investing in a lite lunch of something very similar because I can eat it while actually working without skipping a beat or making a mess. By the time 230 rolls around Im headed home. Around 4 or so the fiance' makes me a delightfully delicious salad as a prelude to a nice evening meal around 6 or so. It works for me ...this way Im getting a little something every couple hours and never get overly hungry

    Good Luck

    To keep in a drawer is a challenge! I bring a half avacado in a baggie and scoop it out of its shell with a little salt and pepper very filling and holds me over

    So many people are saying have a smoothie/fruit but they are high carbs/sugar not protein.
    A small omelette with ham would be high protein. Also very filling and you won't need a big dinner later.

    I keep packets of popcorn in my draw at work. They are about 80-100cals a pack and come in all sorts of delicious flavours (not cheap though so I'm not allowed one everyday!).

    It depends on how many calories I need to burn up as evening approaches. For low cal, I like dill pickle spears or strawberries. For a little higher calorie snack I like celery with cream cheese. For a few more calories, I have a Special K breakfast bar at 90 calories. For after dinner I like sugar free popsicles (15 calories).

    My go to snack is dried mangoes. Low in calories but they fill me up :)

    I bought this once from Trader Joes and it's high in sugar.

    Cheese and crackers. Cheese usually tastes a little better if you let it warm up a little from the fridge. So it could sit (in a container of course) in your desk from lunch until snack time. If you want to bump up the health quotient a little, each apple slices with the cheese instead. Cheese and fruit go great together. To keep apple slices from turning brown, soak in the fridge overnight in lemon-lime soda (sugar free may work too). Drain, and they'll keep for about two days. And no funky lemon aftertaste like straight lemon juice.
