    Heating up a bowl of tomato or other vegetable juice and adding favorite spices to it. Any clear based broths with added veggies to it works for me.

    Fruit.

    A bowl of strawberries. An apple.

    Also greek yogurt has a good amount of protein for under 100 calories.

    Boiled egg if I have on hand

    Many great responses already. These work for me:

    Popcorn, canned tuna, protein shake, protein bars, boiled egg, a salad with hot sauce dressing, Metamucil (if fibre is lacking), tea, coffee, almond milk, some dark chocolate.

    I was going to post something about Weird Al recommending spam:
    "Now if there's some left, don't just throw it out. Use it as spackle, or bathroom grout".

    A nice, fat, apple. It fills me up pretty well.

    Plain air popped popcorn. Drink a bunch of water if I'm too close to my calorie intake and dont want to go over.

    I had a whole other idea of what this thread could be about. These days there are too many pie holes that need to be shut, or stuffed.

    I have many, many 2 ounce portions of walnuts weighed out, bagged, and put in "my" section of the fridge.

    I keep individual packets of dry-roasted soybeans, or crispy chickpeas, in my car for just such occasions. At home, a piece of fruit, a piece of string cheese (or other single-serving cheese), or some veggies . . . maybe a modest portion of nuts. For me, protein is the most helpful "tide me over" snack, followed by something with a bit of fat (and I'm vegetarian, which is why you didn't see tuna or something in there).
