Most of us spend a good portion of our waking moment at the glorious office. Whether your "office" is working out of a car, locked in a cubicle somewhere, or restrained by demanding kiddos at home, you dont have to fall into the evil vending machine snacks when you suddenly realize you are STAAAARVING. Restrain from grabbing the closest and quickest thing to you, cause in this day, it is probably unhealthy. Instead, plan ahead and have these snacks on hand:
Hard boiled eggs
All natural peanut butter (read the ingredients list. It should read "peanuts" only)
Whole grain crackers (im obsessed with Crunchmasters available at Fry's and Costco)
Lunch meat
Carrots (or any vegetables really)
Fruit (keep fruit limited to early morning only)
Protein bars (check sugar content when selecting your bars of choice)
Rice crackers
String cheese
Granola
Salad with grilled chicken (protien is a must with everything you eat)
Greek yogurt
Protien shake
Health is 80% what you eat, 20% what you do.
What are your favorite healthy snacks?

A handful of almonds is always a good choice - unless of course, you have a nut allergy! Learned this one the hard way. As far as lunch meat goes, just make sure it's the Nitrate Free stuff! Our bodies are not designed to properly eliminate the toxins from nitrates and nitrites (most of us anyway) and this causes reduced oxygenation to our organ tissues. Boars head from the deli is a nitrate free and delish, while in the packaged section, Hormel makes a good natural product. Always read that ingredients label to ensure nitrate/nitrite free! I also love some cottage cheese and veggies for a high protein/low sugar option!
