    Nuts or nut butters or soy beans. Just a handful or spoonful can really take the edge off hunger.

    1. cocoa roasted almonds
    2. dry roasted edamame
    3. peanut butter
    4. soy nut butter
    5. pistachios (buy in the shell so it take longer to eat them)

    Lately, it's been the vitatops velvety chocolate muffin. It's so good!! Only 90 calories but has tons of fiber and vitamins/minerals. It has protein too and only 2g of fat. It definitely is perfect for my chocolate craving. If only it wasn't so darn expensive lol

    and also, tomato & basil hummus with whole wheat pita bite crackers from traders joe

    POPCORN!!! Very low in calories and soooo yummy! Fills me up and keeps me full. I spritz on the "I Can't Believe it's Not Butter" Spray and 0 calories and I can't resist. :blushing:

    Cottage Cheese
    Shellfish of some sort
    Eggs
    Lettuce, lettuce, and more lettuce
    Cucumbers or Avocados (tough choice there)

    edit: just saw that the original poster asked for non-fruits/vegs... I'd have to replace lettuce with salmon, and replace cucumbers/avos with Atkins peanut butter chocolate bars :)

    Some of my favorites:
    Edamame (the soybeans in the pod) - there's a frozen variety that you steam right in the bag
    String cheese
    Bread & peanut butter
    Prunes (ok, so they're a fruit, but they are so sweet it seems like you're eating candy!)
    Triscuit crackers
    Granola bar - Quaker has some that are only 100 calories
    Trail mix (but measure out a serving) - a good mix of nuts, raisins, and a bit of chocolate for a great pick--me-up

    1. Popping corn - i love my air popper this makes my snacking tastier (also, it totally doesn't count as a veggie...right?).
    2. Gluten free Rice Chex - quick snack super tasty
    3. Almond Milk - particularly chocolate, paired with the chex = awesome breakfast that is filling and not too high in cals.
    4. Turkey/sandwich meat
    5. Chicken - frozen

    Also, this was hard, I hadn't realized how much of my diet was fruits and veggies.

    OK non fruit and veggies I eat everyday...

    almonds- as nuts, for a snack and also almond meal, in recipes
    eggs- hard boiled, in recipes, scrambled...
    chicken breasts
    butter/mayo- have to put 'em together, I use either one in most of my meals
    cheese- cream cheese, cheddar, string, parmesan, blue...

    It's hard not naming veggies when thinking about stuff I eat all the time.

    Dove Dark Chocolate: Kills the sweet tooth everytime and a little bit goes a LONG way. Especially if you store it in the freezer and let it slowly melt in your mouth like hard candy. I treat myself to a couple pieces every night.

    Original PopChips: Great for munchies.

    Fuji Apples: I started finding my old stand-by granny smiths too sour and they started hurting my tummy and Washingtons are tasteless and mushy. Googled "sweetest/best apples" and this was the only one on the list at my grocery store. I have to agree!

    Ginger Lime Grilled Salmon: My grocery store carries it in the deli case with the other "I'm too lazy to cook" items. Mmmmmm. Protein.

    My Chocolate Slim-Fast/GNC Total Lean 25 Shake: In a small GNC shaker cup mix 12oz whole milk, 1 scoop generic chocolate Slim Fast and 1 scoop chocolate GNC Total Lean 25 powder. Helps me catch-up on my net calories in a balanced if not lazy way if I'm incredibly behind from working out too hard earlier in the day.

    POPCORN!!! I have a microwave air popper! Nothing better ever happen to it!
    Tuna- the 3oz can
    Luna Mini Bars
    Non-Fat Cottage Cheese
    Apples, I know you said no fruit. But this is my theory. Never ever just bite into the apple. You must cut it up into bite size pieces! You can savor every bit and feel like you are having something bad! :)
