The bag of chips and the Oreos start calling your name, and the will power it takes to walk away from them is beyond your strength.

Except for the nuts, everything you’re showing is processed,(even the cheese) and the frozen snacks can be very high in sodium. May I suggest…an apple? very portable. Cherries are in season now, and are a high-touch food that keeps you busy while you snack. A square of havarti or cheddar is good mid-afternoon protein. It doesn’t have to come in a package to be a snack.
