Man, I'm HUNGRY

[pegkerr]

What do you keep to snack on at the office? Healthy snacks, I mean?

I have chocolate rice cakes, which I spread with a thin layer of peanut butter. Or packets of oatmeal. Or popcorn. Or a banana sprinkled with cinnamon. (Sometimes, I will take a single square of Hershey's dark chocolate and crumble it up and sprinkle the crumbs over a cut up banana and then heat that in the microwave for a minute).

I have on occasion brought in a bag of small fresh yams, and I will microwave one of those.

Ugh, I have a serious problem with this...mainly because people in my office always generously bake cookies or bring snacks. Plus there is a bowl of jelly belly jelly beans on my desk for people who come in, etc. They like to stare me down.

okay, but on the helpful side, when I'm being good I do the celery thing. Celery with peanut butter, celery with lowfat cream cheese, or celery just sprinkled with the always delicious Tony Cachere's seasoning. Morgan and I trying to be low carb right now so those are good options. Or nuts but the calories get really high there really fast. String cheese? Soy nuts? Sometimes I try to stave off the boredom with Diet Coke or coffee. Mainly at work I eat out of boredom or craving than actual hunger, so if you have suggestions for THAT, I'd be happy to hear them. I have tons of schoolwork but somehow end up on LJ instead....

I have a similar problem. My boss, who is a wonderful woman and an excellent baker, has cookies of some sort every week. Not to mention birthday cakes on the weeks of birthdays (there is currently a to-die-for lemon cake in the refrigerator).
