What snacks do you keep at the office?

[DrVos]

I've been on a moderate weight loss program since mid summer (15lbs lost so far!). It involved moderate exercise (a cardio kickboxing class twice a week plus running) and a pretty major change in the way I ate. One of things I changed was to eat more often to keep my metabolism up while avoiding, high net carb, high calorie foods.

In my drawer right now:
Dried apricots (for the vitamins and extra fiber)
Roasted soy nuts (High in protein and fiber)
Roasted mixed nuts (High in protein and healthy fats plus they are nice and salty)
Bulk granola -- usually to mix with yogurt in the morning
Unsweetened apple sauce
Cup o' noodles (in case i forget to bring lunch)

I also keep staples like salad dressing, cheese, yogurt, cooked chicken breast, etc in the office fridge to make easy snacks in case I get hungry.

What do you do for daytime snacking at the office?

Granola bars and Pretzels. Brain food.

Don't know about "healthy-ness" but these Wasabi & soy sauce almonds are heavenly.

Nature Valley granola bars. Best things ever.

Check out stuff made by Kashi. The TLC bars are all natural, a nice alternative to the HFCS-filled Quaker Chewy or Nutri-Grain bars. And they taste good too. They also sell some more substantial meal-replacement type bars, called Go Lean. All natural, but again, very tasty.

Also can't go wrong with Almonds. Plain and uncooked or roasted/salted/smoked.

Pretzels...well you could do a lot better than pretzels. But I guess they're better than many vending machine alternatives.

raw almonds.

 

[RossMAN]

popcorn, nuts, almonds and baby carrots.

 

[FeuerFrei]

Sam's Choice Tropical Trail Mix

contains: dried papaya, apricot, pineapple, cranberries, golden raisins, banana chips, also, macadamia nuts, cashews, and almonds

Tasty stuff. It's my "lunch" these days.

 

[RossMAN]

I used to keep fruit in the fridge in the office, but I would forget about it and it would go bad before I remembered it.
Same thing with yogurt.

Eh, its not that bad...all the dry stuff fits in one drawer. Having healthy options helps keep me from eating junk food during the day and helps to keep my portion sizes smaller when I eat my regular meals. The variety helps keep things interesting.

[ni0v]

Craisins

 

[Unmoosical]

Man, I bought some rice cakes and they're unsalted... it's a freaking tiral eating them... blech...

Next time I'm going for chees flavored!


I have the kashi chewy bars 4g fiber 7g protein... they're tasty.. When I have just nuts (like raw almonds) I always eat wayyyy to many.

I also have chees\peantu butter crackers... except mine are naturally flavored and have no transfats...


oh oh... I forgot, I have a couple of cans of sardines and smoked trout that I eat on crackers too... A can of sardines has 240 calories and 26g of protein! plus it has a lot of calcium (all those little bones). With a little salt they're tasty.

Beef Jerky
Banana Chips
Almonds
