    Pickles and hot tea... (not together).

    Pickles are great when I am craving salt snacks... and hot tea sweetened with stevia when I am craving everything else.

    I agree with the Shirataki noodles. I'm a pasta freak and really need that sensation of chewing and swallowing noodles sometimes. I haven't done them in a stir-fry yet - I put them in soup. If I'm really lazy, Whole Foods in the sushi dept. makes a shirataki soup with the noodles, tofu, edamame, mushrooms, and carrots in a clear broth. I heat it up and stir in 1/4 tsp of sriracha hot sauce. Mmmmm...very filling and lots of fresh vegies and protein.

    To get a lot of chewing in I will peel an entire cucumber, sprinkle with a little salt, and munch away for a good 5 minutes straight!

    I like celery because it's very low in sugar (unlike carrots) Last night I had a 'snack attack' and ate 3 Grissol Canape sesame rounds..they have 10 calories each. Popcorn is good but you need to read the serving size because 1 serving is not always going to make 5 cups (make sure you weigh!). It depends how much they fluff and how you cook them. I do my popcorn in a pot, on the stove with a spray of pam. The kernels pop 'bigger' in a real popper but that's the way we've always done it and the way mom did it when I was little - and I'm cheap :P

    I bought a huge 5 pound bag of green beans that I've been roasting and eating as "fries." They're really low calorie and taste like whatever you season them with. Usually I just lightly spray them with Pam and coat with some salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then pop them in the oven at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes, stir and bake them 7-10 more minutes. So good and easily under 100 calories for a whole bunch of them. Roasted broccoli and caulifower are also really tasty. I've also gotten the mini 100 calorie bags of popcorn before and they're pretty filling too.


    I love the idea of green beans as fries! I will have to try this.

    Edaname in pods sauteed in garlic powder and hot sauce- takes awhile to eat and oh so filling for around 100 calories for 1/2 cup of edible portion.(which is lots of pods) Full of protein too! Hot sauce makes you drink loads of water too for double fill.

    Will definitely try this idea as an appetizer or snack in the evening with freinds- I LOVE green beans.

    If it's late in the evening and I can afford the sodium, I dissolve some beef/chicken stock in hot water and sip the broth.

    Tea doesnt do much for me, sadly.

    I hear you, I deal with cravings at times too. I've found balanced meals help. I am on the shirataki noodle train, too. They're amazing. There's a post earlier with links to an Mfper who is the shirataki when, Lol. I also drink water when I feel the cravings, and if they don't go away, I'll eat a cucumber with just a little salt. Really filing, low cal, tasty. I will drink tea, too. I love tea. Hope this helps. :)

    I totally get the snack craving in the late afternoon. So I really drink a LOT of water through out the day. I have a pitcher on my desk and I try to drink it all before the end of the work day. When the water is just not enough Bullion (lots of sodium), celery sticks with spicy salsa (2 tbs @ 10 cals) and 1 tbs of plain Greek yogurt (9 cals), pickles or a hard boiled egg (white only) with salsa.

    Good luck - it looks like you have gotten lots of great suggestions here!

    Equal amount water

    I make something similar...

    I add halved cherry tomatoes

    and I heat the water/vinegar to where it's just about to boil, and pour it over the veg. Then let it cool. It's kind of a "quick pickle".

    sesame seeds are also nice on this.
