Mine:
- 1 soft-boiled egg
- 1/2 cup asparagus
- a tiny piece of whole wheat bread (0.25 of a small roll)

Calories: 104
Carbs: 6 g
Fat: 5 g
Protein: 8 g
Fiber: 1 g
Iron: 14% DV

I boil the water and chuck the asparagus and egg in at the same time; boil on high for 6 mins (on my stove). The soft yolk tastes like butter. A splash of lemon juice on the asparagus is nice.

Oatmeal's also filling.

Soup is nice, but often not filling enough :/

edit: other standbys are
1/2 cup cottage cheese (100 cals) + 6 grapes (10 cals)
2 Breton Wood crackers (45 cals) + 3/4 slice low-fat havarti (53 cals)

    The only thing that comes even remotely close is a tablespoon of butter.

    100 calories is SFA for the 6-foot-plus crowd....

    Lol. It's not a lot for 5'7s, either :) Looking to do something about that tiny little pang just before bed, when you need just a little top-off so you can sleep, kind of thing.

    Yeah I'm 5,8" so it's pretty hard to find things with that low of a calorie count to satisfy me but sometimes it was all I could fit into the day. I usually go for 200c snacks (a piece of fruit with almond butter and chia seeds.)

    A bowl of miso and a mug (or 2) of hot tea really helped me stay full many times, and it was super easy to fit 10 calories in, so I usually splurge and throw in another 10c of seaweed. :D

    That sounds delicious. I usually only have miso when I'm out - this is going on my list! :)

    100 calories would not be enough to fill me up. Maybe for 30 minutes. I prefer to eat large meals, and if I were to snack it has to be at least 200-300 calories. None of what has been mentioned is filling to me in these quantities :/

    yeah, it's really just to take the edge off for long enough to sleep :)

    The only thing that fills me up for 100 calories is baby carrots. And it's a LOT of baby carrots.

    Hot chocolate, i love the warm belly feeling. Makes me feel cozy without having to actually eat anything. My daughter likes warm milk with a splash of vanilla. Both could easily be under 100 calories depending on how much you make. Not "filling" but really satisfying at times.

    Popcorn. It keeps me occupied long enough to forget I was hungry since I eat it one kernel at a time.

    I love to make a little Asian salad for either a side dish or snack. It is actually under 50 calories. It takes a while to eat (all that crunching and chewing is quite satisfying) and it is very filling.

    7 radishes & 2 stalks celery Slice very thin (I use a mandolin. Quick & easy--watch your fingers!)
    1 T plain rice vinegar
    1/2 t sesame oil
    salt to taste

    Toss with dressing about 15-30 minutes before you want to eat it.

    Why do snacks have to be restricted to 100 calories? That's too low, imo. A snack for me is at least 200 cals, but usually 250-300. Just had my afternoon snack and it was 1 slice of multi-grain gluten-free bread w/ almond butter, an orange, and a cup of coffee.

    Salsa with low-cal chips (or lettuce)

    If I get hungry at bedtime I usually just have an apple and go straight to bed, or if I'm only a little hungry I'll just have a clementine.

    You said most filling, not tastiest, right? 3 oz of grilled chicken. VERY filling, low-cal, high protein.

    I keep packets of instant miso soup around - I think they're around 50 cal. I guess all that warm liquid might be just enough to drive over the bridge to Sleepy Land....?

    1 serving of smoked Gouda cheese, (100 calories) and 5-10 slices of cucumber with hot sauce (my favorite is Valentina sauce, but Tapatio will do it). It's filling because of the cheese, and because of the hot sauce. Drink 8 oz of water with it.
