I have tons of food for my meals, but besides fruit I have no idea what I should eat! Especially snacks I can eat at work to get me away from the vending machine. Any thoughts?

    Raw cashews, nuts, dried fruits like apricots, small mini cheeses like baby bell...small yogurts like Dannon Activa. I know those snacks can be tough..but keeping them healthy helps you out! Good luck!!

    I occasionaly by cinnamon apple cherrios and eat them dry for a snack. It makes you feel like you are having something sweet and crunchy at the same time. I do this when I want the crunch from chips. Sometimes, I also get almonds or cashews that have no sodium. If I cant really spare the calories, but my stomach is growling I get a red hot fireball hard candy and suck on it. It makes the hunger pains go away.

    The suggestions above are good :) And if you need a snack but don't want to increase your calorie count too much, try a snack-sized jelly cup (+/- fruit)

    Popcorn, pretzels sticks, string cheese, yogurt, wraps (meat and cheese rolled around a pickle spear).

    Pre-packed small servings of chips (Popcorn Indiana has some of my favorites. They do popcorn and popcorn chips which aren't nearly as bad for you as a bag of Doritos.)
    Granola bars! <3
    Low-fat peanut butter with some celery sticks or apple slices (easy enough to pre-pack!)
    I am also now a big fan of plain Greek yogurt with granola crumbled up in it. Yum!
