    Do you have a fridge available at your work? My go-tos were individual cups of yogurt, fruit or veggie sticks and hummus. Easy, healthy and not messy :smile:

    On the weekends, pack snack bags with nuts, cut veggies, low cal chips. Take a few into work with you each day. I also keep the 90 calorie granola bars and the 100 calorie packs of almonds in my purse at all times.
    I pack my husband a bag of oranges and apples and banana's to keep at his desk through the week.
    You can also keep unsweetened applesauce cups in your desk, those do not need to be kept cold as well as oatmeal packets.

    Also keep a large refillable water bottle at your desk as well as a coffee mug and some of your favorite tea. Sometimes if I am bored and wanting to eat, a hot cup of tea is a great alternative and takes a while to drink.

    Also pack yourself a healthy filling lunch! Use a ton of veggies to stuff a 100 calorie tortilla and then add some lean turkey or ham, skip the cheese.
    And if you have a sweet tooth, buy some high quality chocolate. If its expensive you will be better about gorging.
    Eat 1 piece if you are in need of a treat.
