I do a snack pack with nuts (cashews and pistachios, one of which is usually roasted and salted) and dried cranberries (currently anyway). It's not too filling (I have about 10g of each), but helps with cravings. I sometimes add a few pieces of candy too, which satisfies me so I don't binge.
I will also eat boiled eggs and some cheese either midday (if I'm home) or in the evening. That is more filling, but also more calorific.0 -
A light multigrain English Muffin with peanut butter is my favorite - with honey if I am craving sweet. A piece of fruit with a baby bell mini lite cheese or almonds will also keep me full. A hard boiled egg and some deli meat (I like Boar's Head or New York Deli Patrol) is another filling option for me.0

Mixed nuts (pre-measured and weighed), apples, bananas, air-popped popcorn, or string cheese.0

Chobani Flips - my favorites!!!0

Any kind of nut butter with apples or a banana, Starkist flavored tuna pouches (the spicy Thai is my fav), turkey pepperoni & string cheese, strawberries with reddiwhip or splenda, lunch meat with jalapeno cream cheese rolled up, air-popped chiccarones, to name a few

usually dense cacao based dried fruit/seeds types of energy squares are my go to snack.
i tried a store bought brand of an edamame blend like last week and was surprise one small serving actually kept me full so after supplies arrive i will be making my own version of an edamame fruit blend to help keep me full during meals if needed.0 -
There's two kinds of way I keep "full" via snacks, in my personal experience. Either by eating high fiber/low calorie/complex carb items like popcorn, celery or extra fiber english muffins, for instance, maybe with some low/nonfat protein like cottage cheese. Or to go the high fat/high protein method where you eat a tiny snack of something very satisfying. This won't fill your belly, per se, with a high volume. But it gives me a lasting feeling of not being hungry. This would be things like nuts, peanut butter, hard cheeses. Careful of portion sizes on these, since a couple grams can put you over your calorie goals.
Or, if I simply have no calories to spare, I keep "full" for a while by drinking hot tea or maybe some broth.0 -
Loving the suggestions! Thanks everyone!!0

I try to go for high-protein snacks, so I eat a lot of whole-fat plain greek yogurt (fage is my preferred brand) with jam or honey mixed in. I really dislike the taste of the low-fat yogurts, but the whole-milk yogurt is very decadent and creamy.
Cottage cheese is another go-to, and I like it with cocoa powder and honey or fruit, especially mandarin oranges, for a sweet treat or with tuna or hot sauce for something savory. Beef jerky is also delicious.
I'm currently on a peanut-butter-and-banana sandwich kick, however, and have been eating one a day for like a week. They're a bit harder to fit in my calorie goal, even open-face, and the macros aren't as great, but they're entirely worth it.
Protein bars with iced coffee are another snack I tend to eat daily.
I have a hard time with nuts because they're delicious and one serving is never enough to satisfy me. Like someone else said, popcorn is a good snack if you're looking for something you can eat in bulk.0 -
Hard boiled eggs and I remove the yolk and stuff it with turkey or hummus or guacamole or nuts. String cheese and almonds is one of my favorites. Also real sticks turkey sticks are great. Nothing like a juicy crispy apple especially after cardio. Siggi's plain greek yogurt with some Better N' Peanut Butter mixed in is my evening snack, almost daily. A piece of sesame Ezekial toast with laughing cow light cheese spread on it is yum. Celery sticks filled up with peanut butter or dipped in raw honey or both, or spread in hummus or guacamole. I eat a high protein low fat/carb diet and the protein snacks fill me up enough. And yeah... if you want a lot of bang for small calories Boom Chicka Pop pop corn is always a great option! I also like reduced fat Triscut crackers with PB or some cottage cheese with a slice of turkey on top. I make sure to measure and weight everything and/or take an appropriate serving out or with me. I pre-log as well so that I don't over-do it! As we know many of these snacks are easily consumed in large quantity! The reduced fat Triscuts for example has 110 calories in six crackers and since they're a good size and very fiberous six is plenty..... but if you're hungry you could down an entire box easily! LOL! Another one of my all time favorite snacks is Alive & Radiant Kale Krunch (omg I'm addicted). It's soooo yummy, low calorie and 100% clean if that's what you're going for! All excellent vegan ingredients and the texture/flavor is to die for! I sometimes eat a bag for lunch! The spicy is my favorite and it's only 100 calories in 1/2 of a bag! The plain has 110 in 1/2 of a bag and the others e.g., vegan cheesy, chipolte, dijon are higher calories but also highly nutritious! I can only find them at Whole Foods and a local health food store but can get them online individually or in bulk. Don't bother trying Elli Quark... I tried some and thought it was gross! I also use a high protein powder called Plant Fusion. Nothing but nutritious clean goodness in that powder and very high protein / low calorie. Hope some of this has helped.0

Diet Mt. Dew. The carbonation helps me fight off Robert Goulet so I can make it to a reasonable time for supper.0
-
Bulky, heavy vegetables that are low to fairly low cal - celery, carrots, potatoes, etc.
Non-sugary/sweet fruits like cucumber, zucchini, bell pepper and tomatoes. (Not particularly filling, but extremely low calorie for a good amount of bulk and weight)
Protein bars
Low-fat dairy like plain yogurt (with my own add-ins which may or may not be low-fat) and cheeses (esp cottage cheese, mozzarella and Swiss)
Eggs and egg whites. (I eat a lot of scrambled eggs made in the microwave)
Lean meat and deli meat.
Air-popped popcorn.
Basically, high fiber and/or high protein.0 -
Apples always fill me up. I get little baby gala apples which weight between 4-6 ozs.0

Apples, raspberries, lowfat yogurt, Special K Protein bars, Belvita Breakfast Bites, Clif Bars, and Larabars are my go-to snacks during the day while I'm at work.0

Cheese0

Honeycrisp apples are back on the stores!! I hate to see berry season end, but those bad boys make it better. They're so very, very sweet and juicy. I can't eat a whole apple in one sitting, so have to waste parts of them, which is a shame...but they're so good!
Go buy yourself a Honeycrisp apple. Thank me later. 0 -

i bought some of those about two weeks ago and was pretty didappointed that they tasted nothing like some mentioned!
they were not sweet at all in our location, so bitter that even PB could not rid of that bitterness..i even bought them one more time from a different grocery store thinking i just got ones picked too early and the next two were just as bad!

I really like Bare Apple Chips. They help with any kind of craving for crunchy or sweet and the only ingredient is organic apples. No added sugar or anything.0

Why get rid of it? Just cut it to the portion you want, then apply lemon or lime juice to the portion you are saving. Don't waste apples! I usually eat the whole thing, core and all. But I prefer Gala and Fuji to Honeycrisp. 0 -
cut up apple slices with peanut butter0

I often snack on baby carrots. I like those because they are crunchy and few calories.
But if I want something sweet, I have been eating Greek yogurt because it is high in protein and is a good "dessert" for evenings when my husband is eating ice cream.
I also have been enjoying the Honey Crisp apples, too. Be sure and weigh them though, because they vary in size, weight, and calories.

I just finished off a bunch of these. They were way smaller than the ones I usually get, the size of gala apples instead of the huge ones that I also love, but OH SO YUMMY. They tasted like the sweetest apple and the sweetest pear mixed together. Today I'm heading to the same store to see if they're still there. Meanwhile, my kiddo is hooked on these "SweeTango" apples that I picked up from Trader Joe's. He actually chose that apple over cookies!
For some reason, the most satisfying snacks for me involve salty and sweet, separately but one right after the other. So usually I'll have some cashews or walnuts or sunflower kernels, and then an apple. Those honeycrisps are like having a dessert all on their own.0 -

I often mix half a serving of ice cream with the equivalent amount (or more) of plain Greek yogurt.
Improves macros, cuts calories, and stretches ice cream to a seemingly more indulgent portion.

I sometimes do a serving of Arctic Zero blended with something more indulgent...it stretches it out for me.0 -
Oat chocolate chip coconut "Whenever" bars. They are gluten free, but I'm not gluten free. They just taste super good0
