I need some serious help with food at work

I know you asked for food suggestions, so forgive me for venturing off topic... Too many calories? The wrong calories (sugar/carbs) that spurs cravings or 'bored' eating? Limit overall carbs? but also limiting grams of sugar per meal/snack?

My life strategy is getting enough fat and protein to feel satiated and keep sugar low to prevent blood sugar spikes and the (undeniable) resultant cravings. I'm sure you're an expert on all of this considering you've lost so much weight! Can you read or do something to keep your mind busy?

Otherwise, excellent fat/protein snacks are: raw unsalted nuts and pumpkin seeds (pepitas), dark chocolate (at least 72%), avocado dips or salsa and raw veggies, apple or banana slices and almond/peanut butter, simple WHEY protein "shake" {ex: 1-1.5 c water, 20g vanilla protein powder like Tera's Whey or Jay Robb, 2 tbsp PB2 powder, 1/2 banana or 2oz banana, handful raw baby spinach} .. (you can add a TBSP of good oil to shake to increase fat which increases satiety: hemp seed or flax seed oil), salted sweet potato chips (use good salt full of minerals like pink himalayan or real salt), hard-boiled eggs, tuna mixed with avocado/onions/tomato, organic coffee with tbsp butter or coconut oil, any herbal tea with tsp of raw honey (actually beneficial), ... NO PREP needed: Kind bars, Nature Valley protein bars (10g protein, 14g carbs, low sugar!), skinny pop or boom chicka popcorn (popcorn is loaded with fiber for fullness and colon health), any raw berry: blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, etc (low in sugar, high in fiber = filling)

Sorry such a long post... let me know if you want more suggestions or if my style is too weird

I forgot to add this, which I think would be useful for anyone using this site to lose weight. It's an article about L-glutamine supplementation. I don't normally rely on supplements for anything, try to get everything I need from my food (which is why I use this site - to monitor macro nutrients and things like potassium and sugar, etc), BUT I read this article and began taking L-glutamine and all I can say is that it works! http://www.foodrenegade.com/how-beat-sugar-cravings-glutamine/

Yoplait Greek 100 calories Whip, they are like a dessert. Sun-maid Dark chocolate yogurt raisins. I also love Cutie mandarin oranges. Pickles are good. I also like Quaker Popped. They are low in calories and have savory and sweet flavors. It's what I eat when I want chips. Chewing sugar free gum helps me a lot when I have that need to just chew.

So many great suggestions here. Ultimately you need to occupy yourself in some way so you're not thinking about eating another snack every 20 minutes. The big thing here is Self-Talk. Are you really hungry or is it just Head-Hunger? Trade out the habit of a snack for drinking at least 16 oz of water. This will also increase your trips to the bathroom which increases your steps each night. Wearing a pedometer to track your steps may also motivate you.

Starting a new job is stressful. Sounds like you're motivated to make it work to your advantage. Best of luck!

Have you thought about eating your largest meal before you go to work with LOTS of protein!! Bring healthy snacks and have them already logged in MFP before you go to work so you know that what ever is in you lunch bag had been accounted for. Before you eat anything not in your healthy snack bag, you need to weigh in your mind what is more important - the temporary high from a high calorie snack, or the long term AWESOMENESS from keeping off all the weight you lost!!!!! I need to lose 100+ pounds and I have been using this mind technique to stop the endless snacking I did at night. It is hard. I also use prayer and relying on The Lord to get through cravings.

Try just drinking lots of water. I worked overnights for a few years and had access to junk food and the two combined did not do my health any favors....until I switched to water. Just take a sip whenever you feel a need to snack. It helps keep you awake too. For when you really do need to eat something, try something like carrot sticks and some nuts (just be careful not to go overboard on those)
