NETANYA, ISRAEL – FEBRUARY 22: Dried chick peas, used to make traditional Mediterranean dishes such as falafel and hummous, are sold by weight in the local produce market February 22, 2006 in Netanya in central Israel. The Mediterranean diet, a term used to broadly describe the eating habits of the people of the region, is widely believed to be responsible for the low rates of chronic heart disease in the populations of the 16 countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea.

When you can't take a lunch break at work, what are your options? Or what if you don't have a fridge at work? Then what?

I'm awful about eating breakfast, or about bringing a lunch to work. So I'm usually either not eating until 4pm, or I'm taking trips down to the vending machine. Neither of which is a healthy long-term option.

So, I did a little digging on ideas that are good for snacks you can keep at your desk. This is my favorite list that I've found, I'd just add one item: dried cheese curds. Oh man, so good! - Wendy

Here's the list I found.
