I usually get hungry in the office after having my lunch about 2 hour later. Since i'm always busy, i usually just drink milo or white coffee from the pantry near my place.

Since i'm trying to gain weight as well, i thought of keeping some food in the office to eat when i'm hungry.

Any suggestions? Junk food is out of the picture.

Thanks.

I have high fibre biscuits. N I bring my weight gainer powder to drink during tea time.

Nesvita cereal drink

Whey? Mass gainers? Cans of tuna? Bananas? A blender? Oats? Etc.

Oatmeal. Heat up a mug of water in the microwave, mix it in and toss on some cream/brown sugar.

Nuts, seeds, raisins, whey and etc.

Why not try a nutritious shake which will give you the necessary nutrients without causing your blood sugar to go high . These shakes are low glycemic which means they will turn to sugar slowly after consuming. Since you wish also to put on some weight these may be the right kind of drinks you need when you take it into between your meals.

They come in 3 flavors - chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. They are packed in convenient sachets which you you can reseal easily- convenient to keep in the office.

mars bar ......
mmmmmmmmmm

U can make ur own shake if u have whey. Peanut butter, nuts and etc, get creative!

I have the following stuff in my office:

1. Whey
2. Oats
3. Milk (when possible)
4. Black coffee bags (sorta like those teabags without sugar)

Pack a lunch
Packing a lunch not only saves you money, but you'll also have complete control over what you eat each day.

Choose healthy options when out for lunch with co-workers
At a business lunch? Most restaurants should have a healthy choice like chicken salad (ditch the condiments and dressings) or a piece of fish baked/broiled with some steamed vegetables. Ask to have any sauces/condiments put on the side.

Stock your desk
Not enough time for a meal at work ? Keep a couple of pre-made protein shakes (a couple scoops of protein powder, some grinded oat powder) in plastic shaker bottles at your desk or in your toolbox. In less than thirty seconds, you can add water and consume this meal.

Be Prepared
Keep your car and workstation stocked with tuna pouches/cans, sleeves of rice cakes, bottled water, dry protein powder in shaker bottles, or canisters of nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashew). Cashew is actually a seed from the fruit called cashew apple ! The next time you have to work late or stuck somewhere without a meal, you'll be prepared !

Thumbs up bro~

Very nice~

Nuts and protein shakes.

Protein bars, watch out for ego nutrition, they have some super cheap bars for sale occasionally over a year. I recalled having it cheap before.

You are the expert

Chey Jay's bar? damn they're cheap >.<


Chow

im have this too.. plus some nuts

Wow, thanks for all the ideas guys. Now it's shopping time!

prepare your own sandwich. or sometime u may buy roti gardinia from shop

I keep an egg and keep replenishing it. Boil water and make half/hard boil egg with it.

An apple,2 pcs wholemeal bread with peanut butter and protein shake.

AN egg? Walao that won't fill my tummy at all. Even with 4 half boiled eggs I get hungry again in 45 minutes.

May i know which nutritious shakes are you referring to? Sounds very handy

What I keep in the office : coffee powder, coconut oil, butter, parmesan cheese, sugar, milk, apples, whey, wholemeal bread.

The other guys munch on Tiger biscuits, Coke, Mountain Dew, Twisties, Cloud 9 cause comp provide those for free

Btw guys, in my case my cafeteria is open most of the time so i can also buy pastries and stock it for tea time. No idea why i never thought of that. I know that they have kuihs but i don't think it's a healthy option.

tea time substitute like a handful of nuts and a cup of green tea infused with peppermint. Peppermint helps to numb your tastebuds a little, reducing your cravings

Haha. Bro. Last time people buy from GNC. Then ego offered lower prices and many ppl switched. Now there's another player in the market and ppl are switching to it away from ego.

who's the player?

bro, i was wondering, coconut oil, is it good for us?i mean i always thought coconut oil ain't good.hmm..what do u use on for the coconut oil bro?currently i only put oats and raisin at my office. and i bring 2 tupperware of home cook food, which i cook myself. thingking bout changing some foods la.

Bro, scroll down a little in this link for some info on coconut oil...

I take an apple from 10.30 am to 12 pm. Then eat my own lunch. Then I keep a bunch of oats in the office for pre workout. Damn, I need extra whey with my oats. MONEY...

Guys, i've decided to stock up whey and oats already.

I go to the cafe most of the time during tea break. There's pastries, kuihs, waffles, rojak and a sundry shop.

Out of all the options above, which would be the best tea time meal? I usually take pastries/waffles. Today i realized there's many types of biscuits sold in the cafe too.
