Allow me to suggest "real" oatmeal.  You can add raisins, cinnamon, a dash of artificial sweetner (or honey) and a bit of skim milk.

Cut up some fresh veggies and keep them in a zip lock baggie in the fridge. Include celery, carrots, bell pepper strips, broccoli, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, jicama. You can even use some fat free dip if you don't overdo it.\n\nFruit can be good if you don't eat too much of it. Berries (especially blueberries) are very good for you. Grapes, apples, oranges, pears, peaches, etc. are good, but you have to watch the sugar content, especially if you are diabetic.\n\nRice cakes are low in calories. \n\nA smoothie made from yoghurt, orange juice, berries and a little honey can give you an energy boost. Put them all into a blender with some crushed ice and blend just until it's frothy. You can add some oats to make it more nutritious.

First...you need to stock your fridge with healthy foods...Fruit juices, no fat yogurts, fruits and vegitables, pita breads and salsa...the list goes on.  snack on theses throughout the day. then have a small dinner.   that's how i do it.

I used to do that too-- be "good" all day and then munch out all night.  Now I bring a lot of little snacks to work and eat during the day.  I bring raw vegatables like broccoli and carrots, oranges, apples, those cottage cheese double things that have cottage cheese and a side of fruit in the same container (130 calories and very tasty and filling).  If you have satisfied your appetite during the day, you won't graze when you get home.  It worked for me, I am still doing it but I've lost 35 pounds since I've become more aware of my mindless habits.

Anything microwavable or ready to eat. Espescially things you can eat right out of the package. Cookies, candy, jerky, tuna, anything really that doesn't require much prep and will stay along time. One of my husband favorites..the betty crocker dessert in a bowl. It's like a small cake already in a bowl just add water and microwave.

add a few whole grains like brown rice or oat groats.\n\nadd a few nuts like walnuts sparingly. maybe a few legumes like lentils, black beans, kidney beans. \n\nmix up some extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar with a bit of dijon mustard for a salad dressing.

Drink a lot of water, and if you still get the munchies try fruits or some kind of low fat granola bar.

Eat when youre hungry!  I dont understand how people can starve themselves... That being said, dont stuff yourself when you eat.  Eat until you're full.  Make sure you drink a full 8oz WHILE youre eating.  Chew every bite as if it might be your last.  This will make you get full faster and eat less.  You should eat every 2-3 hours.  Make sure youre drinking water all day as well.  Keep lots of snacks at your desk and try to avoid eating more than one at a time and less than 2 hours after the last one.  Things I keep at work: soy chips, raw almonds, yogurt, kashi dry cereal, weight control oatmeal, Pria (energy/protein bars).  That way I can eat what I feel like.  Keep it to only serving (I actually count out the chips I can eat and put the rest of the bag away before I start).  You should find yourself eating 5-8 times per day.  Make sure youre getting at least 1000 cal per day (visit www.thedailyplate.com if you dont want to keep track of your cal yourself).  Most importantly, remember that a "diet" should be a lifestyle change.  Don't do anything you can't stick with long term or you'll see all the weight you lose just come back.

Extra chunky peanut butter on one side and clove honey on the other. Stick pretzels in the middle. Glass of milk, of course. \nIf I am out of honey the only other thing is raspberry preserves.

By the way, if you were from England then you will eat 'fibre' in your automovile in your way to a Cricket game.\n\nFor quick snacks it is hard to beat dried foods like apricots, dates or raisins.  Fresh fruit like orange, apple or pears can make an excellent snack.\n\nDon't forget or be afraid of almonds, for snacks.  Pack with fiber but also good fats and minerals.\n\nIf you have time to prepare food, then I would recommend baking your own muffins with whole wheat flour.  I make mine and add wheat bran or oatmeal bran or flaxseed.   Great source of fibre and nutrition are the legumes, like lentils, beans, garbanzo (chickpeas for you English!) Mix your legumes with brown rice and you'll have a great meal loaded with fiber and complete protein.\nAnother great source of fiber are avocados.  I enjoy them sliced between whole wheat sandwiches.\nIn a coffee grinder I prepare a mix of flaxseed, almonds and sunflower seeds.  This is loaded with a lot of good nutrition and fiber.  I use this to sprincle on anything from yogurt, cereal, smoothies, salsas, etc.  I put it in a little baggy and have it handy in places like the office, etc.

Veggies, fruit, rice cakes...\nI know that's boring!  But if you watch the serious entrees, you can cheat *a little* with snacks.  Baked snacks, like some of the cheese crackers; cheese and low fat beef sticks.  Yogurt (gogurt is fun) jello and low fat cool whip, cottage cheese with your fav. fruit on it.  Low fat (not fat free) pudding.\n\nThe last 2 answerers are being mean!  I object!

Try Spiru-tein's Cookies and Cream.\nIt's a protein drink and tastes great...like a Sonic Blast.\nIt's sold at lots of health food stores like Vitamin Cottage or Whole Foods... Regarless of what the package says...use a blender, don't shake.  Then go watch BrokeBack Mountain afterwards.

I would offer them some coffee, tea or soda as peace making gesture.Of course you will want to spike it with ex lax or lobelia, either one will keep them occupied and out of the office enough, that you won't have to put up with their crap.An added plus is you will shine as the employee who is always there getting the job done.
