    Fat-free yogurt, fruit or a piece of cheese. If I add milk to my coffee, it also fills me up.

    Cheese sticks, triple zero greek yogurt, baby carrots and hummus are all my go to snacks! Sometimes a half a cup of grapes, if I haven't had much fruit that day

    Fresh fruit. Hummus and carrots (or just carrots). Individual bags of smart pop popcorn. Greek yogurt. Sometimes just drinking a big glass of ice water helps or having a can of diet soda.

    Wow! Great minds think alike!

    Baby carrots and hummus, cheese stick and whole grain crackers (I like the Reduced fat triscuits), apple slices, 1 oz of almonds, nonfat Greek yogurt with or without berries, a banana always fills me up.

    I do not eat hard boiled eggs but I know those can fill you up or at least satiate you. My son love rolling up turkey slices or having a hunk of cold chicken (probably a 2 oz piece) and that satisfies him.

    Air popped popcorn with a little bit of Parmesan cheese on top.

    A little bit of peanut butter dabbed on apple slices. Weigh the peanut butter!

    Steamed edamame w/ sea salt. Pictsweet is the brand, bought in the frozen food section. I eat them out of the pods & a bag is about 190 cals. Could easily break that into 2-3 snacks, but I'm not sure they would save/reheat well after steaming.

    If the sodium is not a problem for you, sandwich meat ham can be a 120-180 cal snack for a little protein boost.

    I am not a regular snacker, so when I snack it is usually because I'm really hungry.

    I will usually choose a protein bar (I like the Clif Builder Bars), some peanuts, or some chips and salsa.

    I eat dill pickle spears when I want to go super low calorie, I "splurge" on 4% fat cottage cheese when I want something rich that will satisfy me, I mix a spoonful of caramel syrup into some plain greek yogurt when I want something sweet. I also do sunflower seeds, mixed nuts, fruit (apple, banana, orange, grapes, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries...I like it all...), and when I'm craving salty I will just open a can of green beans. I also have "emergency" snack bars (Quest) that I keep in my little hiking satchel in case I start feeling weak when I'm out on a trail.
