Whether you’re outfitting a vending machine at a beachfront hotel along the A1A Corridor, a marine industry office in Flagler Village, or a financial services center in Downtown Fort Lauderdale, FitPick® stands out effortlessly.

Fit Pick® employs eye-catching stickers to mark the vending machine slots filled with Fit Pick® approved snacks, making it simple for the tourism and hospitality workforce—including seasonal staff and cruise line employees—to identify nutritious options during their shifts. More prominent clings and stickers offer detailed insights into the Fit Pick™ nutritional standards that matter to Fort Lauderdale’s health-conscious professionals and visitors.

Fit Pick® labels distinguish between two sets of nutritional guidelines. The most popular adult criteria is the 35-10-35 standard (max 35% calories from fat, max 10% from saturated fat, and max 35% product weight from sugar). Additionally, Fit Pick® provides labels for items meeting The Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s Competitive Foods Guidelines.

Fit Pick®’s consistent labeling system is recognized across communities, counties, and states nationwide, enabling offices throughout Fort Lauderdale—from the bustling Galleria area to the Sunrise Boulevard commercial corridor to Port Everglades–adjacent facilities—to implement the same program seamlessly.

Our aim is to supply straightforward yet crucial nutritional information at the point of sale, empowering maritime workers, hospitality staff, and business professionals across Fort Lauderdale to make healthier snack choices informed by clear, “better for you” guidelines.

Here are the Top Ten Smart Snacking Tips to keep you energized and satisfied all day:

  1. Regular Snacking: Whether you’re working a shift at Port Everglades, staffing a hospitality desk along Las Olas Boulevard, or managing the busy terminals at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, refuel your body with snacks several times a day to stay energized and content.
  2. Fiber and Protein Focus: Opt for cereal or granola bars with protein and fiber for longer-lasting fullness—essential for maritime workers and tourism staff handling demanding service schedules throughout Downtown Fort Lauderdale and the beach corridor.
  3. Healthy Crunch: Satisfy mid-day cravings with low-fat, low-calorie options like pretzels or baked chips, keeping you alert during peak hours in the Galleria area and along the Sunrise Boulevard commercial corridor.
  4. Nutrient-Rich Choices: Choose pre-packaged fruits, vegetables, and salads for their high nutritional value, convenience, and great taste—ideal grab-and-go options for cruise line personnel and seasonal workers navigating Fort Lauderdale’s year-round tourism demands.
  5. Protein and Calcium: For a healthy boost, grab low-fat milk or yogurt between meetings in the financial services districts or while managing inventory across the Federal Highway corridor.
  6. Moderate Sweet Treats: Enjoy sweet treats in moderation without completely cutting them out, especially when balancing the fast-paced rhythms of hospitality work in Wilton Manors and Victoria Park neighborhoods.
  7. Smart Cookie Alternatives: Animal crackers, fig bars, pop tarts, or graham crackers are lower-fat cookie options that pair well with low-fat milk for added protein—convenient fuel for service industry employees handling cash transactions throughout the Beach Place corridor.
  8. Nuts for Nuts: Pick a pack of peanuts, almonds, or your favorite nuts for a blend of protein and fiber during breaks at aerospace facilities or while working commercial real estate developments across the metro area.
  9. Stay Hydrated: Sometimes thirst is mistaken for hunger, so keep water close at hand—particularly important in Fort Lauderdale’s warm climate, especially for workers in the marine industry and outdoor hospitality roles.
  10. Balanced Snacking: Remember, variety, balance, and moderation are key to smart snacking, supporting the wellness and productivity of Fort Lauderdale’s diverse workforce.
