    Fresh lean meat. FRESH not processed. Egg whites as a sandwich or an omelet( two whites and one whole egg) choice of veggies and small amount of cheese. Cook chicken ahead of time and use it for tacos and salads. Fish is great. Lean protein will keep you going and suppress your appetite. Greek yogurt is also a good choice.

    Eating oatmeal for breakfast helps me feel full. Others for me iinclude eggs, chicken, spaghetti squash, and protein shakes

    Baby carrots, cucmber sticks, capsicum sices with hummus or salsa to dip.
    Omelettes are good too.
    I make muffins substituting protein powder, rolled oats and LSA for flour. Those are pretty good lunchbox snacks.

    Honestly, try drinking water whenever you feel hungry. sometimes it helps more than you would think. I also blend low calorie high water content fruit in the blender with some protein powder like watermelon.

    Otherwise if you don't like protein powder I would have some cottage cheese, or rice and tuna.

    Depends on what low carb is to you. I sometimes eat two eggs sunny side up on multigrain english muffin, spring mix salad and a slice of avacado. Totals to about 31g of carb for the meal.

    Strawberries. One large strawberry (think large enough to be a deluxe Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry from Godiva) is 10 calories and takes a few bites to eat. I bought 3 lbs of the larger strawberries from a farmer's market stand near my work and ate about 8 of them today... and it was 80 calories. :love:

    Another plus for them is the sweetness, because it's helping me kick my sugar cravings. I tend to munch on crap when my blood sugar drops, and this is SO HELPING.

    Hi, I eat Greek yogurt with 1 tbl of Chia seeds plus 1 orange or grapes with 16 ounces of water for lunch. That usually holds me. The Chia triples it's size in liquids, is high in fiber, protein and antioxidents with only 50 calories. If I bring a small cup of applesauce instead of the other fruit I put the chia in it just to change it up.

    I love fresh veg (keep a huge container of cut veg) and PB2. Love it! Boiled eggs - I occasionally eat a whole egg - but I usually eat just the egg whites - low cal (about 17 per egg white). Baked tilapia is also very filling and tasty. Fiber One Protein bars.
