What are some snacks you keep in your desk?
I like to keep Nature Valley granola thins and the Quaker rice cakes in my desk

    I like to keep a mondo sized tub of nuts. It's so much more economical than getting all those individually wrapped bags out of the vending machine. However, if you are what you eat, then I'm in trouble...! :tongue:

    I like to keep grapes in the office freezer and munching on them as I have a craving for something sweet.

    I have tortillas in my desk, toast them, put on olivio butter spray and a little cinnamon sugar - about 100 cal but I pack fruit or nuts in my lunch bag for snacks, sometimes a Special K bar..

    What do you toast them in?

    We have a mini kitchen in our work area with micro, fridge and toaster!!! I cut it in half and fold it, put in toaster. The inside stays soft. Mmm.

    I keep gum too- mostly sugar free but there are days when i really want the other kind and i indulge guilt-freely.

    I buy the big containers of Chobani vanilla yogurt and pack them in small tupperware. I keep fruit & nut granola in my desk to top it off with. I always crave something sweet so I try to bring a whole fruit with me once a day (i.e. banana, kiwi, peach, apple, small carton of berries, etc.). Sometimes I cheat and indulge in the sugary goodness of dried fruit - my favorite being pineapple!

    I actually feel like I eat better at work because I can control what I eat by what I bring. As long as I pack lunch after dinner (when I'm not hungry) I usually do well. Bringing my lunch is also nice on my wallet :)
