    I would like have some ideas for snacks to take to work. I've been bringing fresh fruit and veggies. Any other ideas would be appreciated!

      Boiled eggs, hummus to dip some veggies in, lavash rollups filled with whatever you like, mixed nuts, idk if you eat rice but there are thousands of ideas for bento boxes on the internet, the list is endless.

      I weigh out mixed nuts, or dried cherries/cranberries, or munchy seeds (flvoured seed mix) into tiny tupperware. Have to weigh them or I'd eat the lot :ohwell: Also love Dorset cereals bars - not particularly low in calories but delicious and filling so stop me looking for something else.

      Agree with boiled eggs, also Graze boxes, mini packets of sliced sandwich ham or chicken, nuts. Basically, protein to keep you feeling full

      I eat packets of rocket / baby leaf salad instead of crisps.

      When I need a sugar / chocolate fix, I reach for a tunnocks teacake (109 cals)

      Or I'll have a cadburys instant hot chocolate (40 cals)

      A milky coffee (skimmed milk and sweetners) always keeps me going for another hour.

      You could boil eggs and have that with tomato?

      Or even cook up some chicken / turkey (100 grams is about 104 cals) and have that as a snack, this will fill you up.

      Quakers oats sachet, with water (98 cals) is really filling too.

      How's about -

      Hard boiled egg with raw veggie crudities and/or follow with a piece of fruit.

      Natural yogurt topped with strawberries, raspberries or blueberries.

      Celery sticks spread with low fat soft cheese (garlic and herb is nice if you dont mind breathing garlic on your colleagues!)

      Small portion cheddar (I buy 20g pre-packaged sticks) with apple slices.

      Layer fillings of your choice (Ham, chicken, egg, peppers, cucumber, tomato, low fat cheese) onto a large lettuce leaf and then roll up.

      Most days my work snacks will consist of: cottage cheese and fresh salsa, 1 oz almonds, and a fruit (generally whatever is on sale that week at the grocery store). Other not so consistent choices for me are: a pouch of water packed tuna, edaname, chicken and veggies, a box of chocolate milk (like the little juice boxes..taste is a little off but I don't mind), dark chocolate. I try to stay away from things like fiber one bars, granola bars, Clif bars etc etc.

      Baby carrots and Bolthouse Farms Caesar Parm dressing for dipping is a daily staple for me. I keep saying that I am going to try their other flavors like Ranch but I never do. Love that stuff! 2tbls dressing + carrots 75 cal

      Also PopChips that I count into zip lock bags. 10 chips 60 cal

      am trying to make a cucumber and tomato salad recipe tomorrow for the first time

      I make a really good one on a regular basis -

      1 medium cucumber
      1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
      1/4 cup crumbled feta
      red wine vinegar and Cavender's seasoning to taste

      Let sit in the fridge for an hour or two and you're ready to go!

      This was all a great help! I do homecare so I can have most any thing right now. It's during the night so gets abit boring. These ideas will help a lot. Portion control and lotsa water. Thank you so much ya' all!

      SDONAVAN4....When I am home I put less than a 1/4 cup of popcorn in a microwave bowl by itself and put a plate on top and microwave for 2 mins 30 secs or more. Listen for popping to slow down. This has hardly any calories. Love it!

      Make your own snack mix since pre-mixed ones tend to have a lot of fat. I like to mix raw pepitos (green pumpkin seeds), lightly salted roasted soy nuts, sunflower seeds and wasabi peas (for spice). Figure out the serving size/calories you want and either take a baggie of it each day, OR keep a tin, a measuring cup, and a little bowl in your office or locker. I used to keep a tin of that and a tin of tamarind almonds in my office. They key is to measure out and put in the bowl so you can eat it slowly and savor it. It's dangerous to just leave the tin out and snack!

      It's a greek seasoning in a yellow can. I get it at Kroger or Publix, but I've seen it pretty much everywhere. I think it's just salt, pepper, oregano and garlic :)

      My morning snack is some kind of greek yogurt and some granola to mix in, unless I get a YOPA that already comes with a mix-in.

      My afternoon snack is fruit and a cheese stick. The fruit is typically different from day to day but if we've gone apple picking or something then I might have the same fruit for a few days or a coupe weeks depending on our haul.
