I have a 16oz Tervis Tumbler that I fill with water at least twice a day. For snacks, I like Quaker mini rice cakes, apples, etc.0

I'm trying really hard not to deviate from my pre-planned meals and snacks so all I have at my desk in an emergency bag of cashews just in case. I drink a lot of water and I enjoy an afternoon tea. All my other snacks are planned ahead of time and kept with my lunch in the fridge so if I want one I have to get up and get it. It makes me think about it a little more instead of just eating what's on hand.0

I try really hard not to snack between meals, but I usually have a Zone bar or other protein bar stashed in my purse or those Sargento's Balanced Breaks. They are 180 cals and have cheese, nuts and dried fruit. They are supposed to refridgerated, but I've eaten them room temp more than once and not died haha0

Count me among those who would snack more if snacks were in the desk. I build in snacks to my daily totals and bring them with me in my lunch bag. There's always at least one piece of fruit, and one yogurt. I used to have a really bad snack bar/protein bar problem. Now I just eat half of one of these stabilyze bars before working out. I could easily eat the whole thing, but I discovered I only needed half to feel satisfied.0

A Quest bar (in case I forget my lunch and the weather is too awful to venture out) a refillable water bottle and my coffee mug. I keep my snacks and lunch in the office fridge, and make sure I get up from my desk every 30 minutes to stretch my legs and refill my water.0

I work in a doctor's office and it's the worst. Patients bringing stuff in. Reps bringing stuff in. Staff bringing stuff in. We are always celebrating something and it's always with a potluck.
I actually starting eating in my car for awhile because I just needed to stay away. I've gotten better though at ignoring it.0 -
Tea (a few different flavors) and gum (also several flavors).
I don't keep any food. Like several others, I pack my pre-planned breakfast and lunch each day and I don't want any temptations around. The tea and gum solve any mental hunger.0 -
Tea bags. I think I drink about two litres of tea during my 8 hour shift. And almonds in case I get a craving for something sweet. We also get fresh fruits every day at the office so they are always available.0
