Going 5 to 6 hours between meals doesn't work for me. How about you? Happy to share this article about 5 healthy snacks to have at work. Most of us tend to think that if we eat three balanced meals everyday, our diet is taken care of. However, it’s easy for unhealthy foods to creep in while you’re snacking. Let’s say you eat breakfast before you leave home at about eight o’clock. You’re not going to have lunch until at least one, maybe even two if you get caught up in work. That’s nearly five or six hours during which your body will need some sustenance. Most of us just end up taking a trip to the vending machine but how long are you going to feed yourself chips and candy before your body starts to rebel, in terms of digestive problems as well as gaining weight? Instead, it’s a good idea to pack two healthy snacks per day, one for that mid-morning meal and another for the mid-afternoon. Here are Five Healthy Snacks For Work that won’t be difficult to carry:
Healthy Snacks For Work: FIVE You’re Going to Love!
An Apple and a Tablespoon of Almond Butter. You can store a jar of almond butter at work and carry an apple with you. Make sure you also keep a knife at work so that you can slice the apple and spread the almond butter when you feel hungry. And store the almond butter in a dry area. An apple contains 116 calories and one tablespoon of almond butter contains 102 calories. So this is a pretty low-calorie snack containing approximately 200 calories.
Whole Wheat Pita Bread and Hummus. If you’re in the mood for more carbs and less fruits or vegetables, you can go with whole wheat pita bread and hummus. Whole Livingrecommends this as one of the best snacks to take to work, as it comes up to about 187 calories per serving. If you like cooking, you can even make up a batch of hummus and then eat it for 3-4 days. Store both items in your work refrigerator and enjoy whenever you need a boost.
Whole Grain Cereal with Berries. This is another thing it would be easy to store at work. Just pick up a box of whole grain cereal, a box of berries and some skim milk on your way to work. Store the perishables in your work refrigerator and the whole grain cereal in a dry place. This gives you a lot of fiber and a little bit of sugar for a much needed pick me up.
Energy Bar. This is one you have to really be careful with… This Real Simple articlerecommends any energy bar that contains over 4 grams of protein. There are many options out there such as Cliff bars which come in a variety of flavors. The Chocolate Chip Peanut Crunch bar has 250 calories and 10 grams of protein. The Chocolate Peanut Butter Zone bar has 210 calories and 15 grams of protein. You can also check out one of my personal favorites, Quest Nutrition Bars the next time you take a trip to the grocery store. The advantage of these bars is that they’re easy to transport and no cooking is required. However, you don’t want to overload on too much processed food. So make sure that at least one of your daily snacks contains fruits or veggies.
Meal Replacement Shake. For an easy snack which requires no preparation, you can try a meal replacement shake such as Shakeology. Store these at work and grab one mid-morning for a filling, nutritious, tasty snack. You’ll end up feeling energized all day long. Or if you opt to drink one in the afternoon instead, it’ll help you shake off that afternoon lethargy. There are many delicious shake recipes as well, that are easy-to-make. Surveys show that shakes such as Shakeology make people feel healthier, improve their regularity and increase their energy levels.
For most of us, keeping weight off is a challenge. Losing weight is much easier in comparison to maintaining a healthy weight.

I know what it's like to regain weight after losing it and how that can be an unhappy as well as unhealthy experience. As painful as it was emotionally to lose weight only to regain it again, I repeated the process five times, in my early 20s, mid 30s, late 40s, late 50s, and the last time in my early 60s. Thankfully since my mid 60s I found the perfect combination of nutrition, exercise, and support that has helped me get it off and keep it off, staying in my healthy weight range now for over four years. I am grateful have a huge sense of relief that yo-yo dieting is now behind me.
There are three major reasons people end up regaining lost weight:
Change in motivation - The energy and willingness to sacrifice that many of us can maintain fades in time. After you reach your goal, or make great progress, the original drive and motivation changes. If the system you are using doesn't support you going forward, then you're bound to rebound. This is why dieting doesn't work long term (see below).
Lack of ongoing support - Few of us can do this alone. Even if you work with a trainer, a coach, a buddy, or a workout group, unless you continue that relationship, you're set to fail.
Sabotage by family and friends - Unfortunately family members and friends can feel threatened by our weight loss. Some people know they need to lose weight but don't want to make the changes necessary so they undermine with disparaging comments or food pressure. Sometimes spouses and partners wonder if their relationship is in jeopardy. Whatever the reasons, without initial and ongoing support from family and friends, maintaining healthy weight is very difficult.
Stressful live events or pressures - Life happens. Job changes, injury or illness, family issues, financial pressures. There are many stresses that come up in life that can reverse all the progress we made and send us to comfort eating. It's a sad irony that just when we could use the extra energy, stamina, and self-confidence that could all help getting through whatever is going on, that's often the time when we turn to sweets, fats, and salty food for relief. (I have the t-shirt AND the bumper sticker on that one.)
Focus on dieting rather than a shift to healthy nutrition - Dieting is about deprivation. It's no fun, it's not sustainable, and it doesn't last. Any weight loss program that focuses on doing without or substituting food you do not enjoy is not going to last.
The good news is that there are many programs that combine appropriate exercise, healthy, nutritious, great-tasting food, and the right kind of support for your needs that can help you establish and maintain your healthy weight. The trick is not to fall into one of the many fast, unhealthy, and short term weight loss programs or routines that end up with you right back where you started.
You can do it, and we can help.
