    I used to take grapes, cheese and whole wheat crackers. Filling and nutritious and delishious. :)

    I'm retired. I miss those snack times. There was this little park area out back of the museum where I used to sit on the grass and eat those.

    Careful of grapes they are high in sugar....
    Try roast garbanzo beans, almonds, or hardboiled egg. They are all a do it yourself so you can stay away from processed bars/yogurt and other food etc...

    You need things that are filling otherwise you are over snacking. So maybe things like huumus, peanut butter, cheese and nuts, and drink lots of water.

    I know that Kind bars has lots of calories up to 230) however it does the trick for me. Especially in the afternoon after my salad and protein lunch. My commute is 1:15 minutes and I am still not that hungry for diner when I get home by 5:30-6. I will eat less for diner and am satisfied.

    Take a sandwich baggie of jicama slices to work and keep it in the fridge. If you need a snack, have a couple or three of the slices. Sweet, crunchy, and you can't get 100 calories in the bag and still zip it closed.

    Fruits (apple, banana, a couple clementines), pistachios, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, mini babybel, various yogurts, hard boiled eggs, and protein bars are my go-to's. And coffee with a little milk and sugar counts as a snack, right? :D

    Some of the things I use for snacks:

    Small piece of fruit
    Ak-Mak crackers and a hunk of cheese, or a couple Tb of hummus
    Olives
    Half an avocado (keep airtight so it doesn't turn brown)
    Cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks, celery sticks
    Nuts: almonds, pistachios in the shell, or Planters Mixed Deluxe
    Protein bar once in a while

    All of these things keep without refrigeration, so I just throw a couple of them in my backpack if I'm not taking my lunch. Else, they go in my lunchbag. I also keep some packs of Quaker Weight Loss oatmeal in my desk if I'm looking for something different
