Oh the joy of having a desk
job. Long hours sitting and sitting, having to squeeze in a bathroom run
between rings of the phone, and that rumbling in your belly around 2 p.m. every
day. Well, I can’t help you much with the first two problems but I do have a
few ideas for you to keep that grumbling tummy quite without ruining your diet.
Here’s the websites if you’d like a few more ideas:
- Seeds: Seeds
are a source of protein, and they’re easy to store, quiet, and not messy.
2.
Plain Oatmeal Packets: Oatmeal isn’t
just for breakfast—stash it in your drawer for a hearty snack, too. Packets of
instant, plain oatmeal microwaved with water in a mug and sprinkled with
cinnamon is a great cold-weather snack when you want something warm and
filling. Just make sure you choose an unflavored option, as many others are
loaded with extra sugars.
- Dark
Chocolate: Yup, the sweet stuff can be a healthy snack—as long as
it’s 72 percent dark. Studies have shown it has numerous health benefits,
including boosting your mood and lowering blood pressure. To avoid the
temptation of overindulging, put one square
in a Ziploc bag before you take it to work.
- Popcorn:
Whether it’s the pre-popped variety or a fancy recipe you plan on whipping
up yourself, “popcorn is such a great snack,” says Kirkpatrick. A 3 ½ cup
serving checks in at less than 100 calories, which gives you a lot to
nibble on when you’re on deadline and need something to mindlessly munch
on.
- Dried Fruit: Crispy Green makes pre-portioned servings of seven varieties of freeze-dried fruit and is an excellent snack when you’re on the move, says Pappas. “The only ingredient is the fruit itself,” she says. “It’s almost like a fruit chip, and they’re really light and portable.
Thank you,
