(Warning: Slight TMI) Ravenous on the Pill: Snack Ideas?

I've only been on it for two days but have already been graced with the appetite of a thousand teenagers. The hunger is constant. Even tonight, I felt the tiniest pangs of hunger directly after finishing a sizable (for me) but not overdone dinner of pasta with meat sauce and garlic bread...an amount of food that would normally leave me satiated for hours. (These pangs are actually what's compelling me to post this.)

As you can imagine, this does nothing for my concentration. If left to fester, my stomach just gets louder. The only things so far that seem to help are coffee and chewing gum, but one I don't want to overdo (caffeine) and the other I go through quickly under normal/previous circumstances.

I'm on the slight side (see below), and so my calorie allowance isn't very much, especially while I'm trying to get rid of this little belly ponch and fill my jeans more comfortably. Anyone have any ideas for snacks that are filling, on the healthier side, and (preferably) not calorie bombs...? Or, if not, any ideas on how to incorporate more protein/filling components into my meals without using protein powder or anything of the like?

*What I weighed at the doctor when I went in for my prescription. My period was a week out, so this was probably partly water weight.
