That will keep your tummy happy for few hours at least? I take snacks to work, but once they are gone, I stay hungry :(

    Beef jerky with cheese (they have those little packs of beef and cheddar for like a dollar at CVS, or you could make your own jerky if you have a dehydrator and just go with string cheese or 1 oz of cheddar or something), almonds (I like the Blue Diamond wasabi soy flavor best - sometimes I'll mix an oz of those with an oz of raisins and it's pretty good if you like sweet/salty/spicy combos), hard boiled eggs, protein bars, full fat greek yogurt, etc. Anything with protein and fat usually keeps me full for a long time.

    A pregnant woman shared with me her Dr said to just eat two Tums. It is calcium which your body needs. It keeps you till the next meal time.

    I copied her little trick and every once in a while if crazy munchies hit.... I drop a couple Tums!

    hard boiled eggs, peanut butter with veggies or apples, nuts, I like cheese with apples, or just eat a small meal like soup, salad, or 1/2 sandwich.

    Hardboiled eggs, cottage cheese with an apple, Punnet of cherry tomatoes with some cheddar cheese, Greek yoghurt with a sprinkling of seeds, home made protein ball. I find the combination of protein and carb keeps me fullest.

    Nature Valley Crunchy Granola bars. I have yet to find a more satisfying snack. Each pack has two in it and I usually just have one. They're super filling!

    How do you make the protein ball?

    1/3 cup natural peanut butter (I use crunchy, no added salt)
    1/4 cup honey
    1 scoop chocolate whey protein powder (I used Bare Blends dark chocolate)
    3 tablespoons LSA mix or ground flaxseeds
    3 tablespoons dark chocolate chips

    Mix everything together, the mixture is stiff so try using a fork rather than a spoon. Roll into balls and refrigerate. They last for 5-7 days in ziplock bags or tupperware. They last longer in the freezer, so I do them in batches and defrost as needed. Depending on your ingredients and the size of the ball it's about 120 calories.

    I also need both protein and carbs to feel full. A little peanut butter spread on a reduced-fat graham cracker is good, apples and peanut butter, low fat cottage cheese with fruit, or if I'm super hungry I'll make half a turkey and cheese sandwich on whole wheat bread. I am the hungriest between my afternoon snack and dinner and I'm trying to figure out how to not lose it on the inside if it's my husband's turn to cook and he has dinner ready "late." :smile:

    Celery sticks and a teaspoon of peanut butter (Kraft whipped is good, easier to use less) - dip the sticks into the peanut butter, just a little goes a long way, and lots of crunch from the celery. Also dates & almonds - about 4 dates (or two medjool dates) and 15 almonds - again lots of crunch, and sweetness from the dates. Tomatoes on crispbreads. Low fat cottage cheese with lots of pepper.

    I try not to have sweet things (except fruit) for hunger busting as I worry they will cause a ripple effect of feeling like to snack more, so I stick to savoury.
    • Marinated hard boiled eggs. I marinate and cook eggs for flavour in a variety of sauces/etc for variation: tea, soy sauce, etc.
    • Chopped mixed fruit in a ramekin. 1 piece of whole fruit never satisfies me so I cut like 1/4 apple, 1/4 pear, some grapes, 1/2 cup rockmelon. It's really filling and very satisfying because the variety helps to satiate me and all for around the same cal as if I would an entire fruit.
    • Fruit and dollop of yoghurt. I love figs or rockmelons.
    • Greek yoghurt topped with small amount of fruit. Strawberries or figs. Sometimes I will toast sliced almonds or coconut and sprinkle over the top. The toasting imparts a very umami and well-rounded, satisfying flavour.
    • Carrots and celery sticks with 1 tbsp hummus, 1 tbsp greek yoghurt. (Not mixed)
    • Miso soup with tofu cubes, 1 cup.

    I'd go with fat and protein.... Or make your meals more substantial and cut snacks altogether. I stopped needing to eat so often when I started eating bigger meals with sufficient protien and fat. I don't feel as hungry in between and my energy levels are more even...

    I'm a total chilli head and find sweet snacks do nothing for me so my go to snack is celery with homemade chilli pickle.
    The pickle is made with superhots such as Naga, 7 pots, Carolina Reapers etc so it's an absolute mouth explosion B)
