Food that is both nutrient dense and not jam packed full of calories is the way forward.
Thats why the Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit is a great sweet craving calorie, jam packed with vitamin C and only 79 calories.
He added vegetables and protein shakes are also a great option to keep at work for a quick, healthy snack.
It depends where you cravings truly lay - sweet or savoury. Just because a snack is healthy it can still be packed with calories. Take nuts for examples, devouring a smallish pack can be a 1000 calories in just one sitting," he said.
Vegetables dipped in low fat hummus, or a tasty LDNM Whey Protein Shake, these are also both good choices.

When it comes to exercises, James a personal trainer and co-creator of the LDM Muscle guides said compound moves work best.
To burn calories quickly we favour compound moves, squats, deadlifts, and overhead press. Alongside HIIT cardio and Tabata Style Circuits," James added.
"Remember these all need to be done alongside a constructive dietary approach to elicit maximum results.
Along with diet and exercise, portion control is one of the key things to learn when losing weight.
James explained you can use your hands and fingers as a rough guide for portion control.
This would typically involve, two palms full of protein (chicken, fish etc one cupped handful of a carb source of choice (rice, pasta, bread), a thumb full of fat source (e.g. nut butter) and two fists of salad or vegetables," he added.
Meanwhile, LDN Muscle co-founder Tom Exton revealedwhy its so important to warm up before you workout it can make all the difference.
