Soup
Baby Carrots
Popcorn
However, any low calorie item must actually taste good or else I still won't feel satisfied.

I like bone broth mixed with chicken broth to hold me over until my meal.

Maybe not a question for this thread but I buy Pacific brand bone broth and it says 9 grams of protein for 45 calories. That seems way too good to be true and considering I have a hard time meeting my protein goals, idk, this could solve my protein problem.

skinny pop dusted with dark chocolate....now that's something I would like !!

Salad, oranges, grapefruit and broccoli are my healthy standards. Cereal, peanut butter and pita bread pizza are the less than
perfect fillers.

Just vacuum sealed three gallons of vegetable soup in pint jars. They calculated out to 202 calories, 14 grams of protein and 7 grams of fiber. Add a 120 calorie half toasted cheese sandwich and I have a filling lite lunch with good macros.

I make air popped popcorn, and top it with lemon juice instead of oil or butter and lots of spices and nutritional yeast-very savory, fiber and protein. I also like Yasso bars for a little treat- 80-110 calories, but 5g of protein and they aren't too sweet.

I keep veggie sticks chopped and ready in the fridge at all times- carrot, celery, jicama, and cucumber. If I'm going to be away from the house for a while I throw some of those in a bag with soaked almonds to keep my body going.

I quickly can get to feeling weak or spacey without eating enough carbs through the morning, so I need things that are easy to prepare and eat.

My lunch plan is either a salad or a stir fry. I keep the veggies pre-cut in my fridge so all I have to do is assemble my meal. I hate prepping my food for the week, but it saves me so much time during the week. It's probably the most effective change I've made for myself this year.

Costco chocolate protein bars, I usually have one a day. Big chunks of chocolate in them. Also, peanut butter, just a spoonful, right out of the jar. And if I'm really feeling decadent, I'll put some peanut butter ON the protein bar, yum!
