Healthy Snacks at WorkDiscussion started by mandybean |
Subject Description
Hi all! I'm very new to this site and love it so far! I'm looking for ideas on what to bring to work to snack on. We have a fridge (although space is a bit limited) and a microwave. Ideally I'd like to bring food that can sit at my desk (ie non-refrigerated). Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

I just bring 2 or 3 pieces of fruit in. I find it harder to eat fruit at home, so it works out pretty well for me. Posted by Shambo on Aug. 31, 2009 at 08:06AM |

I'll usually bring in a couple pieces of fruit from home and an all natural non-fat plain yogurt. Posted by gracephillips2 on Sep. 01, 2009 at 09:25AM |

My snacksI keep a few good-quality meal or snack bars in my desk, along with a few snack-sized ziplocks. If I'm getting hungry I'll eat a couple of bites and put the rest of the bar in a bag for another time. I also keep dry-roasted almonds (good MUFAs), which I put into a 1-oz container so I don't overdo them. Other choices are fruit or light yogurt. Posted by IrishEyes on Sep. 12, 2009 at 05:11PM |

Kashi Whole Grain Crackers7 in a serving and similar to Triscuits. That and a wedge of Laughing Cow Light. You really feel like you've had something substantial for only 155 calories. Posted by JenniferO on Sep. 16, 2009 at 07:29PM |

Some good snacks that don't need refrigeration: - whole wheat bread - multigrain crackers - fruit - low fat cheese - nuts (ie. sunflowers, peanuts, walnuts, almonds, etc.) - low fat yoghurt - chopped veggies Posted by Patti234 on Sep. 23, 2009 at 09:12AM |

Om nom nomI am lucky in that my office has fresh fruit available at all times, as well as a variety of nuts, yoghurt, skyr (Icelandic dairy product between yoghurt and cream cheese), cereals and other stuff. When I want something different I usually make hummus at home and bring with me in a small container, to eat with baby carrots or with wholegrain rice cakes.

Well, 2 of 4 of my meaks at the office are protein shakes. When I'm cutting, I go for low carb. Currently each of my shakes is like this:Well, 2 of 4 of my meaks at the office are protein shakes. When I'm cutting, I go for low carb. Currently each of my shakes is like this:
All blended together with an ice cube, this results in healthy and delicious 450 kcals smoothie, being the case that I lose fat on 2800-3000kcal, its perfect. For someone with lower calorie needs, cut the olive oil or nuts.
Of course, smoothie with oats and fruits instead of nuts and olive oil would be perfect for someone on moderate to high carb diet, though I found myself looking and feeling better year long on very very low carbs during the weekdays. Posted by Veseliq on Apr. 18, 2010 at 03:59AM |

I usually take soups with me. You know, those where you just need some hot water. They have about 35 cals for 1 bowl and they keep me filled up until I go home in the evening Posted by shahija on Mar. 11, 2011 at 08:44AM |
