    I have oatmeal for breakfast or a kashi go lean bar with about 7 or 8 grams of fiber, then I have string cheese for a snack at approx 10:30, lunch is soup and 100 calorie peanut butter crackers package. I also try to drink alot of water during they day. It tricks you into thinking you're full!

    Almonds! They are full of fiber to keep you full. I love snacking on almonds and including them in my lunches etc. They really curb my appetite!

    To fill up an "empty" stomach that should feel full... one serving of Trisquits and a couple glasses of water... that stuff expands. LOL.

    For the mouth that wants flavor, and the body that doesn't want calories... gum. Truly.

    And when I just need extra calories but can't stomach the idea of eating (pun absolutely intended), almonds.

    I seem to eat the same thing almost every day (except for dinner, because that all depends on family). For breakfast I have yogurt with two types of fruit (usually strawberries and a banana, sometimes blackberries instead of one of those). For lunch I have a salad with either grilled chicken or turkey on it, or grilled chicken on a sandwich. For afternoon snack I have a cucumber, some baby carrots, and 2 tbsp of hummus. If I have extra calories to use, I will eat either a Nature Valley granola thin, some almonds or pistacchios, or some peanut butter (I like it by itself on a spoon lol). Dinner is different every day but I try to make sure I have at least 1 veggie, minimal carbs, and some type of meat.

    I plan for work, too. I also plan for extra hungry days so I can make good choices. I JUST now ate two things I didn't "plan" to eat - raw sugar snap peas and almonds.

    My other go-to "unplanned" snacks are: 100 calorie packs (either a chocolatey treat, or a salty treat), string cheese, diced strawberries or canteloupe, 10-15 tortilla chips, etc

    Oikos organic greek yogurt. They have really delicious flavors like honey and caramel. Fat free and low cal and high in protein so it fills me up.

    GOOD OLD FASHION raw veggies! full of fiber and helps keep you full. also apples are really good for keeping the hunger away. or maybe you need to re-adjust your calories, maybe you should shoot for losing 1/2 to 1 pound a week. you might need more fuel.... I say if your eating well eat more! no processed foods!

    Around 2:00, I also decide that I am starving while I'm sitting here at work. I like to have a cup of Darjeeling tea (zero calories!) and a Nonni's Biscotti (Originali is my favorite, and is only 90 calories, but they have a lot of other flavors too and are usually 110 calories at the most). It's not particularly filling, but it hits the spot. The cookie is crunchy and a tad sweet, and there is just something about hot tea that tells my brain I'm finished eating.

    For the days where I'm eating but still feeling hungry above and beyond what I've had I've either
    1) not had enough water so I'll get extra glasses or
    2) not had enough GOOD fats so out come the almonds or I'll use an extra dash of olive oil or peanut butter.

    I don't use the lower fat / no fat items I prefer the full-fat taste and just use less of it to accomplish the same thing.

    I eat 5-6 a day just bring all my food with me to work every day. Each meal consist somewhere between 100-300 calories except dinner it usually hits 500

    I eat 4 or 5 times a day so I don't get hungry. Or my tummy feels empty right before my normal feeding time.

    BUT - I try to keep at my desk. Nuts, oatmeal and protein powder. Breakfast will consist of oatmeal, protein powder and skim milk and a piece of fruit. That keeps me going for a few hours then lunch is usually a huge salad with a can of tuna or 4oz of chicken or salmon. That will keep me full for hours but I still have 1/2 a protein bar before and after working out then dinner then a snack before bed. Snack could be more protein powder and milk or I might splurge on cookies and milk. Or it can even be some fruit.

    Having something with a balance of good carbs and high protein will keep you full

    I love raw almonds, they keep me very full. Also cut up carrots and celery (not as filling but less calories), I love my light yogurt, string cheese. You have to find something you like that satisfies you, not what satisfies others... I do recommend almonds though :)
