    Almonds, apples, oranges, protein bars, dry multigrain unsweetened cereal,

    Get us an ice pack and put it in your lunch bag to keep perishable foods good for the day. Yogurt, string cheese, veggies and hummus, low sodium pickles, almond milk, turkey or chicken, avocado slices, boiled eggs.

    One of my favorite snacks is a couple of pieces
    If oven Roasted turkey deli meat wrapped around a piece of string cheese. Full of protein, and about 100 calories depending on the brands you use!

    Just make sure you weigh everything to ensure that you have an accurate logging of the calories. Good luck!!

    Apples, oranges, grapes, nuts, carrot & celery sticks. I second the recommendation to get an ice pack and keep it in your lunch bag - then you can take yogurt and other snacks that need to stay cold.

    agree with the turkey roll-up; one slice of deli turkey breast is only 30 cals and 6-8g of protein. ditch the oranges as they are loaded with (natural, yes, but still) sugar. if you like edamame, Costco has the microwaveable pouches. broccoli and cauliflower florets, grape tomatoes, baby carrots, sliced English cucumbers; if you "need" dip you could try tzatziki or another lo-fat yogurt variety. Canned chicken or canned tuna in water has next to zero fat, lots of protein; mix with cottage cheese and you will be very satisfied for 3-4 hours.

    You could always think about an ice pack to place in cooler.

    Boiled eggs
    Quest Bars
    Quest Protein Shake (They are amazing and only 110 calories.)
    Tuna packets
    Make a baggie of veggies
    Pickles
    Krave brand jerky is really good. I especially like the Black Cherry BBQ
    Baby-Bel cheeses

    If you do not want to worry about making snacks for work I suggest graze. They are amazing and tasty! You can have them delivered right to your home or work (which is awesome for people forgetting their snacks at home all the time). Just go to graze.com to check them out.

    Everything that has been listed, I also get the 100 calorie bags of plain almonds - 1 box for work, 1 box for the house (or I go to a place where it sells almonds by weight and just get a bunch of that and measure them out into my own ziplock bags).
    Also, plain popcorn is good.

    I buy almonds, walnuts and pecans with NO salt from Costco. I mix them in a large bowl. Then I put a handful in a snack bag and bring them to work. No need to refrigerate. However, it does make quite a few bags so I freeze the rest and take what I need when I need them. Lots of protein and fiber.

    My car is my office. All I bring is a large insulated cooler bag filled with whatever items I would normally eat. I haven't died from anything not being refrigerated. I have brought along wraps, fruit or veg slices, sandwiches, yogurts, fruit salads, veggies, salads of all kinds, stir fries, all kinds of left overs, water, etc.
