    Raw sugar snap peas dipped in hummus (especially hummus made from black beans or lentils, which have less calories than chick peas)

    Rolled up deli meat with mustard

    celery, broccoli, tomatoes, cucumbers.

    most veggies will fit this bill.

    then you can add cheese butter or dressing to get the right amounts of fat and/or protein you want.

    nuts

    lol. nuts are like one of the highest cal dense foods you can find! they do have a lot of protein though but if you are trying to lose I would opt for other options like lunch meat and veggies

    Butternut squash and acorn squash. I usually mix either with an equal portion of cooked sweet pototo, and mix in enough chicken broth to get to the consistency of mashed potatoes, and heat in a sauce pan. Add a little garlic powder and onion powder, and spoon back into the sweet potato skins. Very filling, and very low-cal.

    Oatmeal is also very filling. I mix 1/2 cup (uncooked) with 1 tbsp each of: oat bran, wheat germ (toasted or untoasted), and ground flax seed, 1.25 c water, and cook for 3-4 minutes. I'll have this for breakfast with 2 jumbo eggs (scrambled), and I'm totally full for 4-5 hours, and it's only 422 calories. The oat bran, wheat germ, and flax seed give it a great texture and taste, plus a good shot of vitamins, omega-3s, and anti-oxidants.

    OK, technically not "snacks", but I keep this stuff in the fridge to eat whenever I'm hungry.
