Pumpkin Seeds

If you’re not a fan of hard boiled eggs, an egg white omelet is a great way to pack in the energy without loading on the calories.
Avocado
This green vegetable is packed with fiber and monounsaturated fat. Because of all that fiber it takes longer for your body to digest, which means it keeps you full longer. They are a little higher in calories so these are best eaten alone and when you have a long hectic day where you won’t be able to eat much else.
Greek Yogurt
Greek yogurt is loaded with protein which along with the fat it contains keeps you feeling full. There are a wide variety of flavors and brands of Greek yogurt available these days so there’s bound to be one that is perfect for you.
Almonds
Nuts contain fats that are good for you. Almonds also have a lot of fiber in them which keeps you feeling fuller longer because they take time to digest. This is a great snack to keep in the car and eat on the go.
Wash it all Down with Water
Okay, so this is more drink than snack, but it’s still an important element to consumer during your work day. The most common form of fatigue is dehydration. Keep yourself properly hydrated by washing all those yummy snacks down with water. As a bonus the water will help you going curb junk food cravings. Add a little lemon to boost your vitamin and mineral intake.
