    I only have 2 snacks a day, a homemade oat cookie at around 11 am and some fruit at around 3:30pm. If I have enough calories left I might have an additional oat cookie with a cup of coffee after dinner. I seem to be managing on this and not finding that I get too hungry. I have cut sweets out of my eating plan over the last 3 weeks while following a low FODMAP diet to control my IBS symptoms. My diary is open (I think) so feel free to have a look if you want.

    I need to combine things for my snacks.

    Lettuce with cheese (goat, feta, or blue) and vinegar/Dijon mustard dressing
    Greek yogurt and fruit
    Cheese and fruit
    Nuts and fruit (or nut butter and fruit)

    But really if I'm hungry enough for a snack, I won't be satisfied with anything under 200 calories (except that goat cheese salad for some odd reason).

    Hummus and veg sticks (I find carrots great if I'm hungry), mixed nuts with small amount of dark choc if I have the calories to spare, plain popcorn or fruit. I drink alot of water in between meals too, helps a bit with the cravings.

    I usually have a satsuma after breakfast, before I start getting hungry and another just after lunch. They don't pack a lot of calories and does nothing if I have them when I am hungry, but it I have them when I am no longer feeling full but just before the hunger starts, it seems to help delay the hunger.
    I also have a banana and a home made granola bar, 1 just before I finish work as a pre-workout snack and the other at some point during the day when I feel hungry (usually before lunch).
    I also sip peppermint tea in the afternoon after lunch so it feels like I am "snacking", but they have no calories at all.
    If you don't like herbal tea you could have black coffee or diet coke (although these aren't really healthy options) as they contain zero calories.
    I have to add though that it took me awhile to figure out the snacks/timings that worked for me to keep the hunger at bay. I had to experiment with different snacks and timings to figure out a snacking plan within my calorie goal. :)
    Good luck!

    I eat a lot of fruit, nuts, and seeds. occasionally I'll have a yogurt or some beef jerky, etc. I rarely have cheese as I love dairy and once I get going I'll plow through 1/2 Lb of good cheddar without blinking.

    For under 200 calories, I find this really filling and yummy. Add nuts to make it more substantial:

    I find this really filling due to the oats. I let the yogurt "cook" the oats for an hour or so before I eat it:

    I just had a big serving of nonfat plain Faje Greek yogurt with a bit of stevia and a peach mixed in. Delicious, filling, and only 170 calories.
