If you want to loose weight more efficiently, try to plan ahead. This includes pre-bagging snacks ( dry roasted no/low salt almonds, dried apricots or prunes- try them, their delicious, green beans, edamame, apples, grapes, whole grain crackers...) and packing your lunch. Modern days lunch boxes are stylish and attractive. Being embarrassed about carrying lunch isn't a good excuse anymore and you will save yourself a lot of wasted calories and a lot of money! Make a salad, stuff a whole wheat pita or wrap with chicken, spinach and yellow peppers and salsa. Use a compartment box for brown rice with balsamic vinegar drizzled over, grilled salmon and a veggy!
Also remember to drink your water!
