This is exactly what you shouldn't do. You are putting your body into "starvation mode" by skipping meals, which means that it's going to retain even more fat when you do eat. Are you allowed to have food at your desk? What if you got a big bag of granola (the kind that includes lots of dried fruits, and oats that will fill you up,) and just ate bits with your fingers throughout your whole shift in between calls? You could even get away with skipping lunch this way, because as far as your body would be concerned, it would be like eating 15 tiny meals.
