As to selections, I just started weightwatchers, with the pointsplus system.

It really favors proteins and most fruits and veggies.

Bring apples to work, and water, to keep you filled up.

I'll bet you have a microwave in the loco, see if you can bring a frozen chicken breast for lunch, 3 points while two mint milano cookies are 4 points-- I'll take the chicken.

Lessons: cookies and candies and nuts SUCK, avoid them, same with HEALTH BARS!

Go with smoked salmon treats and jerkey, stay with fluids and fruits and veggies and proteins.

Weight watchers costs money, a good alternative is myfitnesspal.com and others.

Good luck!
