    Those are mainly for emergencies at work , as in or I ran out the door without breakfast and I'm starving...or I forgot my afternoon snack.

    I eat OFTEN when I'm bored or just need something to distract my mind because I'm working really hard - a big part of why I'm here. On a particularly either slow or stressful day, I WILL end up at the vending machine and blowing 200 calories when just a silly little nibble would have been more than enough. So, my desk drawer contains a bag of pretzel sticks and a really good dark chocolate bar that breaks up into 30 tiny pieces. That way, when I'm feeling "snacky," I can grab like 12 pretzels or one nibble of chocolate and I'm pretty much good to go. It honestly doesn't tempt me THAT much at all - quite the opposite, it keeps temptation away, because I know it's there if I "need" it. I also keep my granola bars in there, but that's just for convenience so that I don't have to pack one every day.

    Same here. I have a box of cereal bars, some 100 cal pretzels, 100 cal cookies, two bars of Equal Exchange dark chocolate bars, and some diced peaches in peach jello cups. And a packet of ketchup. Oh and a box of Keebler Toasted wheat crackers.

    Campbells soups, a few microwave easy-mac cups, some luna bars, some 90cal granola thins. I work a lot, and having a ton of lunch foods helps me to not order out with the guys :)

    My desk at work? Two pre-packaged servings of jelly, silverware and toothpicks. The jelly is just in case I forget to bring something to mix into my oatmeal.

    Now...my lunch box every day?
    Morning snack - apple and protein bar
    Lunch - whatever I have planned for the week
    Afternoon snack - oatmeal with greek yogurt mixed in.

    My mini-fridge in my office?
    Diet Coke
    Powerade Zero
    Spicy Brown Mustard
    Tabasco

    EDIT: Forgot that I also have a container of C4 Blue Razz in my desk for mid-day work-outs.

    Nothing. That about sums it up! lol

    Like someone else said, if it's not there, I won't eat it. I grabbed 2 yogurts for lunch in a mad rush, and they're long gone. Water, water, water! :)

    I tend to keep a couple of cans of tuna and a package of ramen on hand. That and a bag filled with every condiment that comes in a packet that I have come across. Those are just for days when I forget my lunch at home and don't want to order anything. I usually keep some Greek yogurt and cheese sticks in the fridge for snacking also.

    I bring a week worth of snacks every monday:
    5 fruit cups
    5 boiled eggs
    5 string cheese
    and sometimes 5 baggies of wheat thins (counted out to measure 1 portion), or 5 baggies of celery or sliced cucumbers.

    this way I am never rushed in the morning to get my snacks together and I know these are better than chips and candy I would have usually brought before this journey began!
