    I usually pack a ton of stuff...a bunch of veggies, an apple or orange, greek yogurt and granola, Smart Pop popcorn, string cheese, nuts...I have a lunchbox full of snack and I usually bring chicken and rice for lunch. There is ALWAYS junk to eat at my job...literally every day. Yesterday it was homemade caramel corn and coffee cakes. It helps to come on here and look at my favorite fitness IGs to keep up my determination!

    Also, I have a 32 oz arctic that I fill up like crazy!

    Crunch! I need something that crunches like carrots or celery or cucumber or apple. Then I pair it with a protein like peanut butter, hummus or cottage cheese.

    I like having sliced fruit (currently on a cantaloupe kick), raw veggies with hummus, yogurt, and Clif bars (for that candy bar craving). You could also do popcorn, single serve portions of nuts, string cheese, the Sargento Balanced Breaks are decent, cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs, pretzels.......

    I do meal prep on the weekend and bring it to work. Since I bring my lunch everyday people have stopped asking me if I want something else and I feel like I wasted precious weekend time making it if I have something else for lunch. I also keep some fiber one bars and fruit cups in my desk in case someone brings in goodies and I need something sweet.
    That said I don't socialize much at lunchtime, if you're eating with others it can be a lot harder!

    My office always has massive bags of chips, full cakes, cupcakes, donuts, etc. The boss also likes to order massive pizzas every Friday despite only being about 20 of us in the office. I bring my own lunch as well as snacks to avoid it. I tend to stick with fruits, cottage cheese, yogurt, and the occasional granola bar to avoid it. (I do have a cookie or cupcake occasionally though because why not?)

    I keep apples and granola bars at my desk, and nonfat Greek yogurt in the fridge. Or I get nuts out of the vending machine.
