Do you know there’s 80+ calories per chocolate digestive biscuit
Thats definitely an office snack to avoid
Eat 10 & you’re looking at 800+ calories
Eat a whole pack & now we’re around 1500 calories
& with minimal nutritional value you’ll still be hungry after
We’ve always heard nuts are good for us but they’re full of calories as well
& fruit can be loaded with sugar so often also carries a load of calories
Office snacks for during the day is one request I get a lot
So here’s a few things I recommend
There’s one thing to remember though
The chances are you’re not hungry you’re just bored or putting off work
It’s what I did when I lectured and I’d see everyone else do in the office as well
So the main thing to do is stay busy
Think about when you’re busy
I bet you never stop & say ‘I need a snack’
& I’m sure there’s times you’ve worked through lunch with no fuss at all
Stay busy my man
Anyway here’s some things to try
The first few are all basically low-ish calorie & take ages to eat
300 calories for a chocolate bar you eat through in 4 bites only leaves you wanting more
The first all tend to take time to eat which most likely is what you’re trying to kill
The second group however are higher in protein so will support your training much better
1. Popcorn
2. Rice Crackers
3. Snack a Jacks
The next group offer quite a bit more protein
4. Beef Jerky
5. Greek Yoghurt
6. Chicken Skewers
7. Vietnamese Spring Rolls
8. Lettuce Peking Wraps
