Need some dietary/exercise help

Some of this probably depends on if you have access to a refrigerator at work in the break room, except the bananas:

Bananas are probably the most filling fruit there is. I've eaten one or two bananas for lunch many times and been quite satisfied.

I wouldn't buy more than five or six at a time, though, depending on if you can eat them in three or four days. Also you shouldn't store them in the fridge, they turn brown for some reason. They look like they would look if they were overripe/rotten, except the fruit is still firm. I'm sure there's some kind of scientific explanation.

Yogurt is another good option (get the low-calorie kind--around 100 calories for 6 oz.), as is a good cereal like Honey Bunches of Oats. Eat a yogurt cup, a banana, and a bowl of cereal--quite satisfying. Even adding in the milk it's not very many calories like a hamburger or something.

If you want some meat hard-boiled eggs are great and low-calorie. They're a good lunch option, too, as long as you have a napkin to catch the shell you peel off. Obviously there's plenty of mumbo jumbo about cholesterol in them, or whatever. Since nobody can agree on it I'd say just go ahead and eat a couple a day and I think you'll live.
