Hi there Youless!
It is one of the rules in our office that food are not allowed inside the production floor aside from hard candies. We are allowed to bring in drinks though as long as the drinks are inside a spill-proof container. What I do when I am hungry is I just drink coffee, which we can get for free in the vending machines in our pantry or I buy chocolate or milk drink and just put it inside my spill-proof mug. I do not get hungry often though since we have fifteen minute breaks every couple of hours or so and a one hour lunch every shift. These give me enough chances to eat so that I will not get hungry while working.

Now I am hungry and how I wish I could had some bread here, but I can't, beacuse I'm at work until 5Pm, and now it's half of four. Oh, my god, be reasonable, be quick, or I'll die. Now I have lost the passion to continue staying here for working. I am afried to eat in the office, maybe why I dare not eat is that I'm just working here for only 4 days. Maybe when I stay here for long, I can have the courage to eat.

I can eat anything that I want but sometimes I forget because of the workload that I have. But if I don't have much thing to do, I would certainly eat something. I always have biscuits or cupcakes with me.
Have a nice day!

When I used to work in the office, I would take fruit in, mainly because an office job you are sitting down all day and getting little to no exercise, that is why I didn't want to snack on sugary foods, because the weight would pile on! I find that chewing gum, sugar free is also good and an alternative to candies

I keep some snacks in the office drawer in case I feel hungry after ten in the morning. I think that it is a good idea to keep some snacks there as it helps offer me some energy for work.

I seldom eat snacks at work. Usually because I always want to use free use of both my hands and I don't want to sully my computer or stuff. I do prefer to drink while at work. From water to tea to iced coffee, I like having them within my reach.

I think I hate snacks. I hardly eat them, when others want to buy them and ask me if I told them no. My father is a fat guy so I am a little worried that I will be like his size if I do not care about my diet health. And now I really do not like them bot just because I do not want to be fat.

Hmm, yeah I eat the snacks. But I will try to avoid candy bar since it's pretty unhealthy to eat candy bar often. I usually provide some lemper (a kind of rice ball with sticky rice and some chicken meat inside), pastel (a kind of pie with vegetables, like carrots or meat inside).

I used to start yawning after lunch. I started eating trail mix and the yawning would go away. When I saw someone else yawning I would have them eat some of the trail mix. The Janitor would help himself to my supply every morning when he started to get tired. He confessed and I told him it was alright.

Hi there. I just started working in an office. And yes, I love eating while working because I consider food as my stress-reliever. Not only that, eating has always been my hobby. I just don't know why I don't get fat even when I eat a lot at frequent intervals. Taking some candies is also ok. But for me, real food is great. I don't like too much sweets because it causes me to suffer from my tonsillitis. But of course, it's always up to a person which one he/she prefers to have while working. Some even take coffee or juices while in the office.

When i was working in an office, eating while working is never allowed. Candies ae the only ones acceptable. But during break time, I would often be munching on sandwiches.
