What's your favorite 'biggest bang for your buck' food/snacks?

My favourite would be a quick shake: Unsweetened almond milk, ground flax, french vanilla whey protein and a couple of strawberries. Quick and delicious!0

I honestly find a protein bar super filling. A couple hundred calories and it usually buys me a whole afternoon not thinking about food.0

My 100 calorie snacks?
1 1/2 hard boiled eggs
25 pistachios
50 blueberries
1/2 baked potato with spray butter/salt/pepper
1 sweet potato with spray butter/salt/pepper
1/2 cup blackberry swirl frozen yogurt
14 almonds
30 dark chocolate M&Ms0 -
Home-made hummus on finn crisps.
Yogurt cup, any brand.0 -
Hard boiled eggs
greek yogurt with some slivered almonds
piece of fruit and a cheese stick
half a banana with peanut butter
1/2 palm full of almonds or cashews
dark chocolate covered almonds (Trader Joes)
Avocado slices on half a multigrain english muffin
Protein with good fat keeps me full much longer.0 -
If im really hungry but low on calories, I go for raw veggies (green beans, broccoli, carrots and cucumber mostly) dipped in stone ground dijon mustard.
If im just looking for a snack, but not really hungry, I go for pistachios usually.0 -
I eat avocados pretty regularly. They are rich and luxurious tasting, so they seem to provide some sense of feeling satisfied. Plus they have all the healthy fats that I actively work into my food intake.0

Grapes. Red Seedless. I love them. 4 calories each0

Or did you mean most filling for the calories? If so, I'd go with spaghetti squash.
Wouldn't literally be the most explosion for your horse's rearward kick?

Sorry, bored, acting the foo...
Anyway, mine's cottage cheese!0 -
Biggest bang most definitely, my lunch:
I sauté red onions, spinach, carrot matchsticks, celery, cilantro, and sometimes broccoli in olive oil. Then I add a rotisserie chicken breast and some hot sauce. Once all the flavors mingle, I pour it out in a bowl and put a packet of soy sauce on it. Yum, Yum! 400 calories or less, incredibly filling.
Others:
Microwaved sweet potato and butter. So creamy, and the heat and texture can solve craving issues.
Frozen box of chocolate truffles. When you are having those chocolate cravings, take out one and let it defrost. Then eat it slowly. It's much more satisfying than a candy bar.

I don't have anything to add that hasn't been said, except peanut butter. An apple with a tablespoon or two lasts a long time. Otherwise, agree with almonds, sweet potato and greek yogurt.0

Broccoli lol0
-
Go to snack foods include raw veggies with hummus; fiber one bars or atkins bars; fruit; etc.
Go to meals include chicken and zucchini (grill both and a huge meal is about 250 calories); beef and broccoli (I use a touch of soy sauce - but stay clear of the calorie ridden sauces).
Favorite protein drink - CLICK espresso protein in Mocha
Good luck!

spaghetti squash. very filling0

Add another vote for spaghetti squash, avocados on sale, and protein shakes0

Quinoa - use this in pasta bakes instead of the pasta. And tastes amazing too! Can use instead of rice also. Accompany with various lentils to add variety of colours and textures whilst maintaining healthy low calorie meals that sustain energy levels for prolonged periods of time0

one celery stalk about 7 to 8 inches long
1.5 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tablespoons raisins
It is crunch sweet and satisfying!
about 210 calories0
