What healthy snacks do you keep at work?

 So then, do you tend to pinpoint a snack time and keep snacks locked in desk?  Or do you just eat snacks throughout day?

Actually, I rarely eat snacks during the day. I keep things there for those days when I don't have a planned meal for breakfast or lunch or I'll make a meal out of my snack drawer. I mostly use a variety of beverages to supplement my meals because I know that if I don't get in all of my liquids the lack of hydration can cause my band to be tight.

I'm a three meal a day gal, but there are times when I do get hungry and just need a little something. It usually happens around 4:00. I need to make sure I'm not starving when I get home because I'll snack before dinner if I am.

My snack trouble time is in the evening. That is the only time of day I "plan" a snack.

Many people here eat 6 smaller meals throughout the day and that works too. You just have to make sure that those 6 small meals don't exceed your calorie goal for the day.

Planning and being prepared with the good foods I should be eating is 90% of my key to success.

Usually for lunch, I just make a little plate of my snacks and I'm good.  I generally have to work through lunch so I end up kind of grazing on my plate over a period of an hour or so.  And I find that having food like this available makes the cookies and crackers and chips in the kitchen look completely unappealing.  It covers all the taste cravings that I have. 

And yes... I keep chocolate at the office.  I buy a couple of bars of organic dark chocolate and if I want a square, I have one.  I eat it slowly and I enjoy every bite.  And then I don't usually want another piece for several days.

I dont keep snacks in my drawer.  I bring my lunch to work each day and I plan and pack my snack, this way I know beforehand what I am going to eat even down to my snack for the train ride home.

In my drawer, I have instance coffee package.

I have almonds, soup, crackers, popcorn, beef jerky, energy bar and York Peppermint Flavored Dark Chocolate Pieces, sorry.
