Stocking Your Desk Snack Drawer
By Beth Sumrell Ehrensberger, R.D., M.P.H., Best Life nutritionist
When a craving strikes at work, you have a few choices: You can either hit up the vending machine or break room (for some of that leftover birthday cake) or you can turn to a healthy arsenal of foods that you've stocked in your desk for such occasions. Undeniably, the best defense when the munchies strike is to have healthy and appealing choices at the ready in your desk drawer. Sure, you can (and should) bring in healthy foods each day, but when you forget snacks, don't have time to pack them or just aren't in the mood for what you brought, it's good to know you have a respectable collection of nutritious non-perishables safely tucked at your work station.

From the Community
"I've come to realize I have a food addiction. I don't think I was aware of that before. But now, the Best Life puts my calories right in front of me, and it helped me face the real truth about how much all my food added up to be. The food log was an awakening as to the balance of my meals. In 20 months I lost close to 90 pounds."
