As the New Year is in full swing, you may have made a resolution to lose weight. Having a vending machine in the office can be hard. It is most likely filled with fatty foods such as candy and high-calorie chips. Did you know that vending machines are able to be customized and can be stocked with foods to keep you on track? Here are a few options to consider:

Nuts

If you are looking for a snack to suppress your appetite, nuts are the answer. They are filled with omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and fiber to help you feel full. There are a variety of nuts to choose from as they each contain their own health benefits.

• Almonds contain a high amount of Vitamin E which helps improve the condition of your skin.
• Cashews are a good source of magnesium which helps improve memory.
• Walnuts have the highest amount of omega-3 fatty acids which fight inflammation.

Popcorn

Many would consider popcorn to be junk food. However, this favorite contains a few benefits. Not only is air popped popcorn low in calories, it is a whole grain. Being a whole grain, popcorn is a good source of dietary fiber.

Peanut Butter

A snack with peanut butter contains many benefits. It contains fiber and protein which will keep you full, offers Vitamin E, and contains a high level of antioxidants.

These foods are a great alternative to the candy, chips, etc. However, as any food can, eating large consumptions can cause weight gain.
