what food do you keep at the office?
after losing a little weight (bad for me...very skinny to begin with) i determined i need to keep eating every 2-3 hours during the day. this can get very expensive and is sometimes hard when at work.
so i started keeping some instant oatmeal, some nurtitional supplement drinks, little containers of fruit, and a few bananas and apples. basically enough to add some calories during the day and keep me from getting so hungry in between meals.
what do you guys keep at the office? i may need ideas once i get sick of these things i have.

I have a few Clif bars that I eat (one after I arrive, then one about 90 minutes before I leave), but for regular snacking, I find things that I can graze on a bit better to handle. Trail mix is good, dried fruit, and some nuts. I also am a big fan of Newman's Own pretzels. I can also eat all of those and not get crap all over my hands.

Leftover pizza and boxes of cereal - the good-for-you kind.
A slice of pizza is great right around 3 pm to get me fueled up for the 20 mile commute home.

Mini bagels and yogurt mid-morning, chicken breast and red potatoes followed by an apple for lunch, bar and apple mid-afternoon. I keep some extra bars and a few cans of tuna in my desk for whenever I'm extra hungry.

Fat Free Jello and Pudding Cups, Apples, Bananas, Green Tea, Crackers, and I think that is it. I am still trying to drop some more weight so I try not to snack to much. Later.

I keep a couple of beers here in the fridge in my office. 8 or 10 of those a day and I have no problem keeping the pounds on...
On a serious note... Oatmeal or grits in the morning and an Icecream bar in the afternoon.

Seeing how I work at a milk/culture plant I have a infintie amount of yogurt and cottage cheese that I snack on. After I grab some that stuff I go grab a gallon of water to get me hydrated for my ride after work!
