    How low calorie are you after? Some of my go to snacks are:
    • half of a Quest bar
    • some greek yogurt
    • popcorn air popped with some oil/butter spray (no propellant) and seasonings
    • apple or banana, perhaps with PB2 to dip in
    • turkey sausages
    • banana oat muffin (runningwithspoons.com/2014/06/24/banana-oat-greek-yogurt-muffins/, when I put 50g choc chips in they're ~120 cal each)
    • pita with hummus (especially pesto hummus)

    I never thought of this before today, sweet corn is only 2/1.00 right now so I had picked up a bunch. I just removed the husk and washed it, I was going to cook it but ended up just eating it raw without any butter or salt. It was delicious! It was only like 70 calories too, IMO way better than cooked with butter and salt. I love fruit when it's in season it's practically all I eat, and it's good for you too. My personal favorite is watermelon

    I pack one serving of dry roasted almonds for a snack on the go, or for between meals at work. It's 160cal, but they're so high protein and good for me that I don't worry about it. And frankly, one serving is enough for three snacks during my day. It's worth it, and delicious!

    I like to freeze thick pureed vegetable soups that are around 50-75 calories per cup. They fill me up every time.

    I like a protein shake and an apple or in the late afternoon I like having a quest bar 20 minutes before a workout because it helps push through my workout. I also have had almonds for my snack but only do it sparingly because even though they are great snacks the fat content is high.

    Try roasting a small potato, a handful of baby carrots and some zucchini with balsamic vinegar. Tastes great, low calorie.

    Try to get protein in there, which I find most filling. Protein bars, protein chips, Greek yogurt with fruit, cottage cheese (I blend it with vanilla extract and a tsp of maple syrup because I hate the curds - also a good pretend icing). I also eat careful portions of nuts for some fat, and a square of dark chocolate is always a good idea.

    Tuna fish with avocado instead of mayo and a teaspoon or two of dijon mustard. It sounded weird to me at first, but i love it. It's packed with protein, healthy fats grim the avocado, and it will satisfy you.
