    I love snacking on Edamame. Some have a weird thing against soy though.

    A banana or an apple. Also, things like spinach, cucumbers, and zucchini.

    Also, 1 tbsp peanut butter with about 35-40 pretzel sticks (the count might vary depending on the brand). It comes out to right around 200 calories and keeps me full for quite a while.

    Nuts are good too! Almonds are pretty filling.

    homemade frittatas are great for taking to work. you can use just the egg whites if you're really watching the cals. I make mine with heaps of veg - broccoli and mushrooms mostly - and if you want the DELUXE filling version add your turkey and chicken to that!

    I have recently got onto Slim Pasta (that's what its called in Aus - look for konjac noodles.) I make pasta with this and whatever meat/fish and veg I want and you can have a MASSIVE bowl with under 200 cals - the noddles themselves are only 11 cals :)

    I find smoothies really filling too. I put protein powder and egg (or eggwhites) are good bases that will fill you up without a calorie overload.

    almonds (depending on brand and stuff - I usually eat half the serving size of mine which is about 19, which is filling and 145 cals), apples, peanut butter (I have it on bread so thats more than 200 cals depending on the bread but i find it filling), bananas

    A packet of low sugar instant oatmeal with a teaspoon of peanut butter in it. Use a tablespoon of peanut butter instead, and it's 210 calories. Very, very filling (and really tasty!!).

    Porridge! :)
    Have it with milk if you want, but it's really good made with water.

    To me, it's egg whites.

    1 cup out of the carton, into the frying pan.. 120 calories and 24g of protein. BAM!

    Two containers of 5.3oz Oikos plain Greek yogurt (sweeten with Stevia/Truvia) works just as well - 160 calories, 30g protein, and much less sodium.

    I could eat a cow at any given time though, so usually I must combine these dishes in some way (not in the same bowl, mind you) to get full!

    oatmeal. or cereal..... I use SILK unsweetened almond milk which is 30 calories a cup. A cup and 1/2 of cheerios w/a cup of the almond milk comes in under 200 calories. I often have this for breakfast & i am full for a while

    Greek yogurt is a good option, a single serve of Chobani in any flavor i believe comes in under 200 calories. (i think they range about 150-180 cals depending on the flavor)

    High protein foods curb my appetite for a while, but i don't know if many will qualify as very filling in portions under 200 cals...but If you are not opposed to protein bars or shakes, it's easy to find ones under 200 calories and they always fill me up for a while

    Oatmeal! Soooo filling, a half cup of uncooked rolled oats is 150 cals, a cup of unsweetened almond milk is 40 cals, add a little bit of cinnamon and bam, you have a small meal that feels like a full meal. Great way to start the day.

    raw veggies. I carry a bag of carrots in my purse at all times. Zucchini I find crazy filling, & is really low cal. Celery is great, too. For more nutrition density, low fat cottage cheese is my fav high protein food - half a cup (100g) is only 70 cals, and 14 grams of protein :)

    I love the ideas for actual meals here. I'd much rather eat something that resembles a meal for 200 cals, than 2 Tbsp of Peanut butter.

    2% Fage greek yogurt with Honey
    really good and so filling sometimes i cant finish it all
    Make sure you dont stir the honey into the yogurt - SO gross, it even warns you on the package.. First time I ate it I didn't see that..
