Do you guys eat snacks in the middle of the workday?

Anyone here like to consume any snacks in the middle of the workday? 
 

I usually get more hungry when I am stressed so I often pack myself some cookies or a bag of chips. Wondering if anyone has any good midday snack recs

I try to avoid stress eating/ at work so i don’t get fat. Usually just chew on some gum and drink a some water and that works. If it doesn’t, I’ll go for a protein bar, banana, or Oikos triple 0 yogurt cup instead. Would recommend instead of chips

 

I keep some entenmanns cookies, cheetos, milanos, pretzels and chexmix in my cubicle drawers and usually eat something in our office pantry in the middle of the day

 

I often eat snacks but healthy ones such as skyr, banana, almonds, or some protein bars. But stress has a different impact - I tend to eat less. In fact I lost 3-4kg during my internship

 

Trail mix is pretty healthy.

Yes, I’d say I’m eating pretty much all day. My caloric intake is probably way different than most, I’m a 22 year old 6’3 male clocking in at 170lbs. If I’m not either snacking or full on eating I can’t concentrate because I’ll be hungry.

The important thing is never to let oneself be guided by the opinion of one's contemporaries; to continue steadfastly on one's way without letting oneself be either defeated by failure or diverted by applause.
