Welcome to /r/Anxiety! It's a great place!
I used to do the same constantly, anything that caused minimal agitation, just enough to pull me back into reality or distract me. Bite my cuticles, tear my nails, scratch myself too hard, I even had a horrible (and really strange) habit of biting my taste buds off (not too proud, can't explain it).
It's really hard to break the habit, but it can be done. You just need to replace it with another tactile sensation. Many people like these, otherwise try and replace it with something that isn't destructive. Maybe get one of those grip strengtheners, crack your knuckles, do yoga or exercise when you're feeling antsy, drink calming tea. You gotta find that thing that clicks for you
Edit: just realized I bit my nail off while writing this. I've been pretty on edge today, seems like I need to follow some of my own advice. None of us are perfect lol
I second the fidget toy idea. Keep them in multiple places that you will be; home, car, coat pocket, work, etc. The urge can happen anywhere!
Edit: This is my personal favorite. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075K6V37H/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_DjAvCbTNZ21V0
You can try a fidget cube. It is small and each side of it has a different feature on it, like buttons, a switch, and a wheel. However, if you're in a meeting, the buttons can be noisy so I would test it out first to see if it would distract others. A good old fashioned pen could help too, or other basic office items since they are pretty commonplace and wouldn't be distracting nor make others think it is out of place in a meeting.
Another thing that I often do in meetings to occupy my hands is take notes. You can do this with a notebook or a computer, depending on what is allowed. It could help you remember important points from the meeting too to have it written down. What I also do is write whatever I'm thinking down so I get wily thoughts that are distracting me out of my head so I can pay better attention. Just a little trick I picked up.
Here is a link to a pretty good and cheap fidget cube: https://www.amazon.com/Helect-Fidget-Relieves-Stress-Anxiety/dp/B075K6V37H/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1538938902&sr=8-3&refinements=p_72%3A2661618011&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=fidget+cube&dpPl=1&dpID=41t2lnMMLoL&ref=plSrch
I got my husband a fidget cube which he uses during meetings to keep his hands busy. Maybe something like this could help?
How 'bout some fidget toys:
