    I make a big batch of some sort of salad that includes my whole grains and lean meats on Sundays and divvy up to eat throughout the week. (This week it's Mediterranean inspired bowl, next week is a Thai-Turkey bowl.) I also have my lunch bag on my desk full of snacks and a big ol' jug of water. I know I am a mindless grazer, so I play to it. Everything within reach. I have one of those mini-babybels, a bag of smartfood delight snack bags, blueberries, carrot chips, cherry tomatoes, and 2T of the Marzetti low fat dip. I can graze all day!

    I usually bring 8oz daisy cottage cheese & 8oz of plain greek yogurt mixed with protein powder and 2oz of frozen raspberries to work for lunch/breakfast every day.
    In/on my desk I have: a variety of protein bars, tuna, beef jerky, small fruit stash (apples, oranges, bananas).
    In the fridge I keep: hummus with peppers and hard boiled eggs.

    I highly reccomend making your own energy balls and granola bars. Not only do you know everything that's in them but you can add things you like and protein without getting unnessecary sugar.

    Cutting up fruits or veggies is always a good idea. But if you need something more hearty make a rice/quinoa bowl. If you're trying to stay away from carbs just make greens the majority of the bowl with your grain on the bottom then add any veggies and protein you want!

    I always bring a random flavor of oikos triple zero yogurt for my breakfast snack. At 15g of protein per cup it's a win! My afternoon snacks usually involve some form of salad with a couple of walnuts and almonds to keep it interesting.

    Babybel or some other small portable cheese, cottage cheese, greek yogurt (I love the chobani with the stuff to stir in), pretzel thins with hummus, 100 calorie packs of cookies, those homemade energy bites with PB, honey, oats, etc..
