    Bacon, eggs, spinach, coffee, meat. That's probably not what you're looking for but I eat them almost every day. :happy:

    The actualy list is much longer, but since you asked for 5 I've narrowed it down to these:
    1) Low fat cottage cheese (so versatile)
    2) PB2 - Bell Plantation powdered peanut butter (also versatile)
    3) All-Bran Whole Wheat Bran Flakes (great for breakfast or a snack)
    4) Fresh fruit: apples, bananas, blueberries, strawberries, sweet cherries
    5) Bell & Evans boneless, skinless chicken breast (Bell & Evans b/c it's antibiotic, hormone free, etc. and of excellent quality!)

    I like the Special K Protein bars when I'm craving sweets. The chocolate and peanut butter are my favorite, but they come in different varieties. Also I bought some Jolly Time 100 calorie bags of popcorn. There was a surprising amount in each bag and it satisfies that salty craving. Good Luck!

    My favorite thing that leaves me full is avocado-guacamole! Its an easy to fix "superfood". I use it as a sandwich spread(sourdough bread, turkey, guacamole) or buy corn tortillas cut it up like a pizza and bake them in the toaster oven as chips.

    I go to Costco and get the big bags of Pacific Gold beef jerky. If fills you up, is 80 calories for one good sized piece (5 calories from fat) and 11 grams of protein. It is also gluten free and has no trans fat and no preservatives.

    1. I like to keep Fiber One bars handy. I keep them at home and also carry one in my purse for emergencies. You can get the normal ones, which are 160 calories, or there is a 90 calorie option.

    2. Yogurt ( I like Yoplait Light )

    3. Laughing Cow Cheese and Keebler Reduced Fat Crackers ( 1 wedge of cheese + 5 crackers = 105 calories )

    4. Bananas! ( I know you said besides fruits and veggies, but bananas are tasty and filling )

    5. Turkey Burgers ( Home made or the frozen kind )

    homemade hummus (with less tahini than most recipes call for); steel cut oats; unsweetened vanilla almond milk, string cheese, and soy delicious mini ice cream sandwiches for a yummy treat (sweetened with agave).

    1. boiled eggs - they're low calorie and the protein helps satisfy your hunger
    2. smoothies - what a fun way to get some extra nutrients! Our local smoothie shop can also mix in extra things like caffeine or vitamins (even an appetite suppressant) to help out
    3. oatmeal - delicious and nutritious!
    4. rice cakes - not the best for you in the end but they have a nice satisfying crunch
    5. stevia- to satisfy my sweet tooth on any occasion :p

    1. Greek yogurt, with honey - or if you're near Trader Joe's, they have pomegranate flavored which is delicious
    2. Hummus to eat veggies with - makes it a lot more appealing to eat carrots, celery, or broccoli if I have hummus to dip them into
    3. Vitamuffins - double chocolate...tastes great and they are only 100 calories and have fiber and vitamins
    4. Sandwich thins (100% whole wheat) - to toast and add a little Smucker's low sugar strawberry preserves, or to make a PB&J or veggie sandwich with. Only 100 calories for the roll that has 2 slices.
    5. Almonds, walnuts, and other nuts - I pre-portion and bag them in little snack baggies so I won't go crazy.

    that's tough because you said besides fruit and veggies (which would make up most of my top 5), so...

    (1) Almonds
    (2) Nonfat yogurt (but I would add fruit)
    (3) Oatmeal (but I would add fruit)
    (4) Cottage cheese w/ salsa
    (5) Tuna (w/ veggies in a low carb tortilla)

    you'll see some repeats from previous posts here:
    1) light string cheese (or light cheddar cheese sticks)
    2) low fat cottage cheese (with various add-in including fruit, salsa, sea salt and pepper)
    3) sugar free jello pudding cups
    4) single serving 100 calorie popcorn (butter or kettle corn)
    5) vitamuffins

    Good luck with conquering those cravings!
