Your not supposed to eat at your desk (IDEA'S PLEASE)

Baggies of nuts

Eat in the bathroom.

Youre welcome :flowerforyou:

I like the smoothie idea. For non-liquid snacks, try some whole grain crackers or pita chips.

Are you allowed drinks at the desk? then you could have a smoothie or protein shake.

^this^

Fiber one makes a protein bar that has 7g of fiber and 10g of protein for only 170 calories. they have been my new lifesaver...

but you can sneak something, what type of snacks would you suggest? I work in a doctor's office and not supposed to have food at your desk, so I am asking if anyone has any good ideas for snacking during that day that I can kinda hide but still get to snack.

Thank You

If you are not allowed to eat at your desk, why do you want to snack, its the same eating.

fresh fruit-Banana, grapes, apple, raisins. almonds

If you are not allowed to eat at your desk, why do you want to snack, its the same eating, whether its nuts, crackers, apple, smoothie - its all boils down to you will still be eating at your desk.

rice crackers, veggie sticks,

^^^ Rice Crackers STINK! They wont be subtle at all......IMO :glasses:

If you work in a doctors office you probably should not be bringing in nuts of any description because of possible patient allergies? Do the smoothie/protien shake thing, or find a new job.

seriously? have a talk with your bosses about getting a break now and then so you can eat, or get another job.

if you're not allowed to eat at your desk, then you're not allowed to eat at your desk. So your question shouldn't be "how can i sneak around and still eat" but "how can I get my bosses *the doctors* to understand that some people need to eat every X hours"

(I worked someplace once as a temp where we weren't allowed to eat at our desk OR drink coffee cause BigBoss once got an orig document from someone that was covered with coffee stains. BUT he told us we can take as many breaks as we need, as long as they are in the break room. and believe it or not, this privilege was not abused)

A couple of things: First, learn that YOUR is possessive, and YOU'RE is the contracted form of you are. Next, go to another room to have your snacks.

I wish I could work there because it totally grosses me out when people eat at their desks in the workplace. Ick.

I'm assuming you are on some kind of "six tiny meals" plan or something along those lines. But how about having a tiny bit larger breakfast and lunch?

good thing you're not my coworker then because i eat at my desk every day and i'm NOT ASHAMED! :laugh:

Yep.... me too! Eating at my desk right now! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :drinker:

Agreed, I eat probably 3 different snacks at my desk daily. Or lunch if I'm on a conference call.

This. Workplaces have policies for a reason. Eating at your desk can promote the spread of bacteria from you to patients and from patients to you (when you handle the patient's forms, cash, debit card, etc, then eat your food without washing your hands). It is extremely important in a doctor's office to practice good hygiene practices. Talk to your boss about how you can get a quick snack in a couple of times a day, and wash your hands before and after.
