Do you snack while you work?

Hey, everyone! I thought this might be a fun discussion.

What's your go-to snack while you freelance? Sitting at a computer for hours at a time is way more fun with some crunchies or tea.. Do you try to keep it healthy, or are you not too concerned?

I like tea. I can sip on tea all day while I work. Carrots and hummus are a treat, too. I try not to keep chips, candy and junk food around, because I know that I WILL eat them. ALL of them. Haha, at least I'm aware of it.

How about you?

i dont think i would be able to work if i could not snack tbh with you guys. i mean personally i have a bag of chips open in front of me as we speak haha no but seriously i do ... i like to switch it up though i try to make sure i have some kind of variety `some kind of option . My all time favorite would have to be tostinos pizza rolls i love those things lol but i like i said before in my honest opinion it is really no fun if i dont have options.

LOL yes I also try to keep chips, chocolate and biscuits far away, otherwise I eat them all. I never used to be like that but since I quit smoking last year snacking and eating has become a problem for me.

Coffee is something I just have no control over, I must keep it coming at all times. I am a complete addict.

I try and snack on protein snacks like nuts and biltong (similar to beef jerky). I also like some fruit and yogurt.

Oh and my kids snack while I work. I always try and work in the afternoons when my kids are at home. I have puzzles, art supplies, dvds and loads of toys to keep them occupied.

When those lose their interest I bribe them with chips, Tinkies, biscuits, lollipops... anything I can just to get a little more work done. Bad I know, but this is the last resort. Right now they are pigging out.

I have snack every time I turn my computer on. Food is always around my table, so I don't need so much effort to reach and ingest them.

Yes I do snack when I work, but the major difference now it that I snack on healthily food like fruit and nuts, it doesn't weight me down like the artificial snacks on the market, and since I work at home, I'm around the snacks that are healthy because my diet is plant based, but working away from the house makes it hard to snack on healthy options.

Yes I find standing up and fetching snacks to big of a distraction so I always have my bowl of snacks on my desk with a cup of coffee then I'm all ready to work.

I love to sip on coffee while I am at work, and of course snacking on trail mix keeps my energy and brain focused.

Sometimes. I often find having a snack during work feels refreshing though. I don't need a lot, just enough to have something to nibble around as I type words onto my computer. There's also times where I'd rather have drinks. Maybe a Frappe or a Milk tea, simply because I feel like eating/nibbling/drinking something helps me fidget and focus.

Right now since it is Summer, I like to drink water with a couple of ice. Instead of junk food since I am trying to reduce that, I will have fresh fruit or some almonds or nuts to munch on while I freelance online.

Yes,sometimes i even eat lunch while im freelancing. Im not into multitasking, well actually i dont do that but since i learned how to be a freelancer, im begining adapt the trait. Its not a bad thing actually and i like doing it. Makes me feel less lazy.

It depends on my boss. Some supervisors don't really want you eating and drinking at your desk. But I had a bad habit of working through lunch, so often I would bring my food and eat it while still working. It's not a good work habit. I don't recommend it. I think people should get up and move away from their desks, even if only 15 minutes.

I'm aloud to snack on my desk, not on the actual work are, but I usually don't do it. Unless I'm feeling really hungry, I rather not. I do take a break to snack elsewhere, for some reason eating a snack in a cubicle doesn't work for me. But it's nice to take a break and relax, it can be beneficial to stop for a few minutes and recharge.

I can drink coffee all day long. I have noticed that drinking coffee reduces my appetite and thus prevents me from snacking which is a good thing as I am currently on diet. However, on those no coffee days I do snack. I usually have dried fruits, yogurt, dark chocolate or an apple. I try to eat healthy foods as far as possible.

Well, this depends on what I'm in the mood to eat when I work on my PC. For example, if it is a hot day I would eat some cold melon, or in some other cases, I would eat a sandwich or potatoes chips!

Yes I do take snack very often when I'm at work. I mostly take something which is chilled because the temperature is usually high here in the afternoon.

I don't like snacking or eating while I am doing something or even blogging in my laptop. I cannot concentrate on what I am doing that's why. Besides I am afraid that some of the particles of what I am eating, much more drinking would go into the keyboard spaces.
Most of all, I really want to relish what I am eating so I really take the time to just eat,
But yes, when eating with my family on the dining table, I can talk while we are eating but not necessarily when my mouth is full. lol

I work in the IT department so it is imperative for me to becareful with the computer. Eating and drinking is not allowed in the office although I have to admit that I sometimes eat and drink while working on my laptop... when I’m home. I couldn’t risk doing that in the office for I might be suspended. But as much as possible, I avoid eating while working for the sake of my computer. With other kinds of work like gardening, it is all right since there is no risk of damaging anything.

I currently live the intermittent fasting lifestyle. This means that you stay in a fasted state for 14 or more hours. This decreases your insulin levels and if you need to lose weight you lose and it keeps you from being hungry. I 'm on the 24 hours protocol where I eat one meal a day. So I'm afraid no snacking for me. The most I can have is black coffee or green tea. This is hard at the begging but after a while, your body adopts.
