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

mmmm yummy

my entire department are healthy people. Our organisation has put in to place corporate health where they encourage us to be healthy and fit we have a gym we get discounts on gyms and we also hold yoga once a week.

Anyways we usual have a fruit box delivered to each department once a week where everyone can buy fruit from, nuts are also a healthy snack as well as celery or carrot sticks.

and a lot of water if you may :)

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:

* 15 oz water
* 1 oz nuts
* 1 dose whey protein (vanilla or chocolate)
* 1 raw whole egg
* 15ml extra virgin olive oi
* pack of sweetner

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.

Om nom nom

I 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.

7 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.

I 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.

I'll usually bring in a couple pieces of fruit from home and an all natural non-fat plain yogurt.

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.
