Canned Fish

Canned fish like tuna and salmon are packed full of omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins and lean protein, which helps you feel full and satisfied. They are also typically very low in fat, especially if you choose water-packed instead of oil-packed varieties. Keep a stash of canned fish on your desk, and add them to your lunch, or snack on them with whole-wheat crackers during the day.
