    Do you need food at your desk? I eat breakfast then sip black coffee and water until lunch. Then I eat lunch. Then I sip water and hot unsweetened green tea all afternoon. I go home and have dinner then I'm done eating. Tonight I'll do yard work till dark then have dinner. Do you get hungry between meals?

    I'm one of those people who can't eat much early in the morning. I'll usually have a small breakfast around 7:30. I don't take my lunch until around 12:30, so I almost always do need a little something mid-morning to get me there. Once I eat lunch, I'm usually good until dinner, though.

    When I had an office job, I'd keep a bag of raw almonds in my desk. It really worked to keep me from starving but not so delicious that I'd eat too much.

    Right now I have a packet of instant oatmeal, Fiber One strawberry streusel and Fiber One lemon bars, small squares of Ghiradelli peppermint bark with dark chocolate (for my afternoon sugar craving) and a bottle of honey for my green tea or to add to plain greek yogurt. I actually need to restock the drawer!
    I'll also have things like packs of peanut butter crackers, mixed nuts, Kind bars (I buy the flavors with only 4-5g of sugar), Nature Valley biscuits with almond butter and Kashi honey almond flax granola bars.
    I tend to bring a lot of my food with me right from home, but it's nice to have back ups!

    Single serve bags of popcorn, Special K pastry crisps, granola bars, pretzel sticks, cuties (I bring 3-4 on monday), instant oatmeal, rice cakes, Fiber one bars for a sweet treat, raisins, etc. I don't keep all of it at once but its the stuff I like to rotate through!

    Instant oatmeal. I find work is a good way to get rid of those pesky "regular" flavour ones that come in the variety packs. I add a sweet n' low to it hahaha.
    Freeze dried fruit packs.

    A clean shaker bottle, liquid coconut oil and a slow release protein powder. I also have stashed away some nuts BUT the packaged is still sealed. I know if I break into it, I will eat it in short order (my willpower is not having it available).

    I can't keep snacks in my desk, or I would find it too tempting and end up eating too many at once. Instead, I just bring my snack with me every day. I do things like yogurt, cheese sticks, apples, bananas, Graze snacks, and dried fruit or veggies. I am sedentary during the day, so I typically use my calories on meals and maybe one snack a day. Then if I workout after work, I can eat my exercise calories for an evening snack.
