WHAT KIND OF HEALTHY SNACKS DO YOU TAKE TO WORK??
I HATE BRINGING FOOD TO WORK, AND I ACTUALLY NEVER BRING ANYTHING, AND END UP EATING A BUNCH OF JUNK FOOD. :mad: LIKE COOKIES, SODA, CHIPS AND EVEN CHOCOLATE :sad:
I NEED SOME IDEAS OF SNACKS OR FOOD THAT I CAN EAT AT WORK AND THAT WILL LOSE WEIGHT.


THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT! :flowerforyou:

    Special K bars...(a lot of sugar but taste good)
    Pure Protein Bars (not a lot of sugar taste okay)
    Any of those 100 calorie snacks
    Mixed nuts (small handfull) and a small apple
    String cheese and a mini fruit cup

    These can all be thrown in your desk and can be ok to eat without refridgeration. (even the string cheese which i find taste better at room temp)

    I bring a lot of what's already been suggested.

    My other suggestion is to pack it the night before - especially if your mornings tend to be rushed. On the mornings I go to the gym I have to have lunch and snack ready in the fridge so all I have to do is grab them in the morning and go.

    I take celery, cucumbers, pea pods, red peppers, nuts, dried fruit mix.
    But maybe it would be good to try to break the habit of eating at your desk. It icks me out to eat much at my work area. I mainly only eat in the break room. I keep my food in the fridge in that other room. And there isn't much food to buy nearby.

    i had the same issue!

    i take baby carrots, celery with a little pb, apples (i keep a knife at my desk to cut them), trail mix (the ones without the chocolate in it)...things like that. I have to keep switching it up so that I don't get bored with something, b/c that is when i turn to the snack machine.
