I need some quick snacks that I can carry around in my purse all day that will still look edible =-) When I get hungry I will eat the first thing in sight and I'm trying to avoid making bad decisions. Would prefer snacks under 100 calories! Thanks!

    I carry things like peanuts or low calorie crackers with me so when I get the munchies I can snack on those

    Hmm things that I like to carry around:
    cocoa roasted almonds (I by raw and roast them)
    kale chips
    roasted edamame
    baby carrots and hummus
    hardboiled eggs
    grapes (frozen)
    figs and dates
    grape tomatoes
    celery w almond butter or wrapped in turkey
    fuji apples
    half an avocado
    roasted chickpeas
    marinated bell peppers

    and my favorite of all, strawberries covered in dark chocolate. (Take coconut oil, almond milk, cocoa powder, and stevia and dip strawberries into it-freeze after and they're amazing)

    I stay away from 100 calorie packs and prepackaged snacks.
    The best and easiest snack you could have is always fruit.

    My go to snacks are a little baggie of pretzels, some trail mix, dried fruit (like raisins or cranberries), or a protein bar.

    Smart Popcron White Cheddar
    Fiber one Brownies 90cal and about 5 grams of fiber
    For me I like to pop trident gum. It drives ppl around me crazy but it kills the cravings! And sometime you just wanna chew...

    That will keep all day in your purse:
    Nuts (I like to keep pre-portioned bags of pistacios)
    High fiber or High protein bars (my hubby eat a lot of Fiber One Chocolate & Oats bars)
    Jerky
    Small pack of peanut butter crackers
    Fruit (like an apple, orange, etc)

    If you have an insulated bag & ice pack you can also add in:
    Light Yogurt
    Cheese sticks
    Jello Cups (especially the sugar free... only 5 cal)
    Celery or Carrots w/ light dip or hummus
    Deli turkey breast wrapped around a pickle spear & a dash of hot sauce (don't knock it til you try it)
    Fresh cut veggies

    Lots more options out there.

    You can break granola and protein type bars in half too and put them in a bag to take with you.

    My snacks are:
    Banana a small one (90 calories)
    Apple (60ish calories) (I keep an apple cutter at work)
    Light string cheese (50 calories)
    Special K dark chocolate protein bars 110 calories (or something similar with less than 200 calories).

    You can carry peanut butter (pb2 is 45 calories per 2 tbsp) with you to go with the banana or apple too
    small tupperware type bowl works well.
