It's 12pm. You're sitting at your desk.. And you've eaten all your lunch and snacks until dinner.

I'm going to have to pretend water is a milkshake D:

    ...or you could use your next break (assuming you have one) to get a healthy snack mid-afternoon when you're hungry so that you're not ravenous tonight and setting yourself up for a binge or overeating at dinner.

    Add a walk and add some leeway to your snacking. Add protein powder to a lo cal drink. Add chia seeds to your water with a juice ice cube. Handful of nuts.

    I'll be alright, saving some extra calories for a dinner out tonight :)

    The walk is a good idea! I'll do some laps around the office. I want to love nuts (to cut down on sugar in snacks) but I haven't loved them yet. I'll try almonds once more.

    I do all different kinds of tree nuts- cashews, pecans and hazelnuts. Also, add flax seed to your diet- it expands similar to chia seeds+Good omega 3s for combatting afternoon fog. I try to avoid peanuts but will do it in a pinch (honey roasted are a weakness). Sunflower kernels are great, too.

    Add tea to your schedule, too. It's a great ritual to get you away from the desk + yerba mate or green tea help with your metabolism.

    Don't do the nuts if you are low or out of calories. Do the walk around the office and do the water. It will help for 5 minutes! LOL

    On the lighter side, is there popcorn in the office? You can get some volume of food for a few additional calories. Perhaps go for a walk when you get home. There's always room for the snack.

    :) I wish I was bold enough to microwave popcorn in the office haha. But you are correct about not nutting for today (; if anything I'll go get a piece of dark chocolate. Anything's better than opening this big bag of pretzels next to me. I can't believe a couple weeks ago my "snack" was just fitting in 400 cals of pretzels -___-
