i like SunBites from walkers.
they've sunseed oil which is naturally higher in mono-unsaturates and lower in saturates.
well... thats what it says on the packet..:-)

Carrot is a 'noisy' food, as are crisps and apples.

If you are eating your lunch in the company of your workmates, do them all a favour, and yourself, and substitute a punnet of ripe quiet cherry tomatoes.

Whilst I agree with whiffey that 'quiet' cherry tomatoes would be a good substitute they can also explode when eaten, leading to the sudden and uncontrolable ejaculation of tomato juice/seeds on to unsuspecting colleagues, so cut them in half.

Carrot sticks, celery sticks, cucumber sticks, Ryvita minis, packets of pre-prepared 'quite' fruit.

Celery is very very very noisy food and should be banned from the workplace. I disappear into headphones and very loud Mozart if anybody starts eating it.

Twiglets are really low fat but full on flavour - with that necessary crunch!

Organic almonds and sultanas, you can also mix with other nuts like cashews or pecan mmmmm

Surely it depends on what is in the rest of your lunch box ? If that contains say a simple cheese or ham sandwich, then how about a bowl of mixed veg salad - finely chopped celery, peppers, cucumber, tomato with maybe some cooked cold rice or a simple cold pasta and tomato salad (I boil some pasta tubes or frills, rinse in cold water and drain and then simply plonk on a jar of pasta sauce and mix well). None of those foods are noisy to eat so they shouldn't offend anyone. If you are not into cooking, most of the supermarkets sell ready cooked quiches, so a slice of quiche and a little bag of salad would be quite healthy food too!

Don't forget to include a piece of fruit or a fruit yoghurt for a pud..... you can get get both low cal and low fat yoghurts that taste really nice and are not too expensive.

Question Author

I have 5 peices of fruit, a yoghurt, a sandwhich and usually a packet of crisps. I know that my fat intake all depends on what sandwhich I have but I'm not too fussed about that.
I'm not over weight but just want to cut crisps out as I do alot of weights and want my body fat to come down a bit.
I like the Twiglet's idea if they really are low fat.
