Looking for low calorie (under 100) snack that are filling. So far the only one I have found to keep me from thinking about eating for longer than a hour is a hardboiled egg. Eating like 12 nuts or whatever does not work for me. What do you like?

    Hi

    I also have hard boiled eggs, but I also have:

    Cottage cheese
    Small bit normal cheese (30g ish)
    Banana (small)
    Couple slices ham/chicken
    Half tin/serving veg soup

    Tend to go for protein based as keeps you fuller

    Apples and Oranges run about 70 calories... and always have those 100 calorie snack packs

    I buy the snack size packs of popcorn and they usually fill me up pretty well.

    Seriously, vegetables. If you have them with 1-2 full glasses of water, your body will expand from the cellulose (cell walls) of the plants. That's the reason plants can absorb water without exploding - cellulose. So think about what that does in your stomach. it's like what pasta does for less calories and sugar :P
    Any green vegetables - broccoli, spinach, kale. You can always eat some fat rice cakes.. they usually clock in 35 cals a wedge. Find what works for you!

    I like 1/4 of a trader joes bran muffin and half of a protein shake. Full of fiber and protein.
    Or an apple and half a teaspoon of peanut butter or a plate if veggies with low fat sour cream and some turkey or chicken.

    I had some fresh green beans yesterday and instead of just being a snack they kept me full through lunch! I drank a bunch of water and ate about 25 green beans and they were under 50 calories.

    An apple usually fills me up! I add a bit of cottage cheese in there for some protein as well...1/4 cup 1% cottage cheese is 45 calories and 8 grams of protein. So for 125 calories you have a nice filling healthy snack. Another one I like is a string cheese (80 cals and 8 grams of protein) and unsweetened applesauce (50 calories).

    Poached egg over spinach and tomato, soft boiled egg with salsa and pepper, celery or apple with all-natural peanut butter, baked or mashed sweet potato, fresh veggies with dijon veganaise for dipping, or a fresh fruit smoothie with soy milk all work for me!

    spinach and sweet butter lettuce. I get the pre-packed bags, and each bag is 2 servings...seriously. And they are only like 40-50 cals for all that. Spritz them with some balsamic vinegar or lemon juice and seasonings, and you'll be full.

    Another idea; comes in at 100-110 cals. PictSweet brand edamame in the single serve steamable carton. Soy beans are high protein/fiber, so you will feel full for hours.

    I do a huge glass of water and a large red delicious apple. It's very filling and has just enough sweetness to keep me from thinking about candy bars. An apple is generally around 80 - 100 calories depending on size.

    And it's a simple carb so it breaks down pretty easy and still gives you energy.

    New one last night...right around 100 calories, give or take...

    1 can light tunafish in water with 2 T non-fat sour cream, mustard, sriracha, chopped onions, served with bean sprouts in lettuce wraps. I actually got full and couldn't finish it.
