So I work in an office and sit on my ass all day, so i need to eat well whenever possible. On a daily basis I have a bananna, apple, cheese stick, yogurt, granola bar, trail mix, fruit roll up, along with whatever left overs i have for the week. I am sick of the granola and yogurt. i used to bring an orange too, but i didnt feel like peeling the orange most of the time i also drink 4-5 bottles of water during my 8 hour shift. anyone have any ideas that dont require much prep? ---

fruit, vegetables, yogurt,rice cakes, raisins, legumes, wheat pretzels on occasion, (healthy)soup in the winter{try making it yourself, its easy} and personally pound for pound the best snack to leave around the office is goldfish. and these are only an example, but you get the idea… > **[15 Healthy Low-Calorie Snack Strategies | Reader's Digest](https://www.rd.com/health/wellness/15-healthy-low-calorie-snack-strategies/)** > > "Don't eat between meals."
