I need something filling - nothing too high carb because I am prediabetic. Thanks!

timothypcardinal

Raw Cucumbers and tomatos w/lemon and cayenne pepper; can add raw bell peppers and onion as well.

kimkimcoleman

Would nuts be an option for you? It would be a very small amount but I consider them filling.

inertiastrength

An entire red pepper and 3TBS hummous is about that. I love that as a snack.

Balderson aged cheddar portions (Costco) and a pint of raspberries is about that also.

bedwellchris

I know that it is carbs, but one of those small bags of popcorn is only 110 calories. Peanut butter on fresh veggies or salsa on fresh veggies, cottage cheese with whatever you want to add to it.

an apple with a handful of almonds

If you can squeeze an extra 40 cals out of this snack Kirkland makes just-like-Quest protein bars with 1g sugar and 15g fibre/21g protein for less than 1$/bar.

stenback

Diced up navel orange with cottage cheese on top and some slivered almonds

sofchak

Canned tuna with a little dill relish and celery; tuna melt - tuna, little mayo, low fat cheese on a portobello mushroom in the oven; cucumber wrapped in deli meat (check the ingredients to avoid nitrates and look for lower sodium options); beef jerky; pork rinds (check the ingredients - should just be pork and salt); yogurt - I like to freeze mine with some berries; cottage cheese; string cheese; scrambled eggs wrapped in lunch meat (like a tortilla)

I would love to try these!! what are they called exactly?

One can of chunk light tuna in water is 90 calories. One and a half cans of tuna is 135 calories. 1.5 cans of tuna and 3 plain almonds is 150. You're full.

Hard boiled egg! Very portable as it comes in it's own protective wrapper . Large eggs are 71 calories each, so for 150 you could have 2 with a drop of mayo or other sauce/seasoning (or just plain!)

Any kind of raw veg will come in well under (carrot, celery, cucumber, peppers etc make good sticks, or try cherry tomatoes) - and will easily leave room for something to dip them in (e.g. hummus).

Sliced sandwich meats can also be very satisfying for fewer calories than you think. Best if you can add some veg to them - e.g. use a slice of meat as a 'wrap' and stuff with veg of your choice. I can't remember calories exactly but I used to spread a low fat cheese triangle across 2-3 slices of pastrami, add some lettuce, chopped pickles and a pinch of mustard powder - roll up and tuck in! Can be made the night before.

Damn, I'd forgotten that last one - definitely need to start doing it again!

They're just called Kirkland Protein Bars I think, they're in that aisle with the Pure Proteins and larabars

Crunchy veg + protein is my basic formula but when I forget to bring or didn't have time to prepare I keep a few Kind bars around. Look for the ones with only 4 g of sugar.

ksz1104

you can buy packs of mini baby brie or parmesan cheese, I love to eat these with carrot sticks. I am diabetic also. So I like nuts, greek yogurt, fruit, mini babybel...over where the bologna and lunchables are, they have little snack packs that are high in protien, and by the cheeses sargento makes "Sargento breaks" which have a good amount of protein and carbs.

EggToni

Parmesan Crisps!

MelanieCN77

Some apple with chocolate PB2 is nice, or some string cheese/mini babybel.
Rye crispbread with laughing cow cheese.
A piece of ezekiel bread with PB2 and banana on (I should try this with the cinammon raisin, in fact hello breakfast), or PB2 and jam.
Luna protein bars are 170 cals.
Couple boiled eggs. Or egg salad made with lite mayo and some crackers.
Tuna/hummus and crackers.

ashesnposies333

Hummus and pretty much any vegetable makes me so happy. Especially carrots.

There is also oikos triple zero Greek yogurt. 120 calories, 14g carbs, 15g protein, no fat.

ashesnposies333

Dark chocolate

ashesnposies333

Lol even just eggs is low in calories
I had eggs for a snack the other day with a cup of kale sauteed and then mixed into the scramble

sher12342017

My go to bar is Luna caramel walnut brownie it has 200 cal the carbohydrates are 26grams sugars are 10percent the also have a lemon one that is around the same

nehaad88

Dry roasted chickpeas/garbanzo beans. 1/2 cup has 134 calories. Its extremely filling, crunchy snack. If you drink warter after it, you will be set for 2-3 hours.

I think there are a few recipes for spiced version also. I personally prefer the plain one.

Popped soya nuts, mixed fruits, pop-corn, eggs are also good options.

Lizarking

Two hardboiled eggs.

Sometimes a slice of cheese and a little salami.

Almonds.

quest protein chips... so good

daworley

I am glad you started this, OP!! Very good info to know!

Okohme

A big 'ol honeycrisp apple is my go to but, also love bell peppers, and carrots. For that number of calories you could also do like 3/4 cup of greek yogurt, or 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and some fruit of your choice, i like frozen raspberries because you can make a smoothie type thing with them.
