    While they're slightly high calorie, I love raw almonds. A serving of those keeps me satisfied for awhile. Also try low-fat graham crackers with natural peanut butter. Those are amazingly filling. I don't know what you can take with you to work, but I also love pita bread and hummus. If you slice a piece of pita up into a bunch of triangles and dip them in hummus its amazing. I love it.

    Then of course there's always raw petite or baby carrots, celery and peanut butter, and sugar snap peas. Sugar snaps are my fave because I ate a whole bag one time and was so full, and it was only like 100 and some odd calories. It was awesome. Hope this helps!

    Maybe a Fiber One treat and a glass of water, or some wheat bread/bagel and peanut butter. YUM!

    I like apples and peanut butter. Or sometimes a few crackers with a cheese stick. I always try to drink 24 oz of water with my snacks. This helps keep me full.

    I also like the drink "define 8". I buy it at Max Muscle. It helps a ton with my snacking. There are alot of flavors so you can find one you like. Most max Muscle stores will let you try before you buy.

    I keep trail mix that I make with almonds, dried cranberries, fiber cereal flakes, and dried apricots.

    If sodium isn't an issue for you... 1 ounce of beef jerky. Low cals, high protein, and add a glass of water and it keeps you feeling full for a long time. If you have access to a freezer try the Yasso frozen greek yogurt bars.
