    Cucumbers, lettuce, pickles, etc. Things that are like zero everything usually with some seasoning on them or mixed into small salads.

    I like Siggis Icelandic style yogurt cups (skyr). They are 100-130 Cals and ~15g of protein.

    Grape tomatoes

    Small apples

    I have been doing small meals at snack time. Something like 5 oz chicken with 5 oz veggies. I'm into beans and corn lately as well. Tons of volume for lower calories so it keeps me full and I avoid the "snacking" mentality that sometimes gets the best of me..

    I'm not sure what you mean by healthy, but I make these in mini muffin pans. http://mamapapabubba.com/2012/09/09/the-best-no-sugar-added-banana-muffins/
    If you use really ripe bananas, they are plenty sweet.

    I enjoy salty foods so I go with a jar of Pickles, Olives or Rice/Corn cakes! Pickles are the lowest though, I buy mine with chillies!

    I cut up veggies like red and green peppers, cucumbers, celery etc and use a cheese spread like laughing cow that is only 35 calories a wedge or a yogurt dip. I also have a recipe for a low calorie hummus that's only chick peas, roasted red peppers, garlic feta( I use fat free feta to make it even lighter, salt and pepper and you can add a spicey seasoning if you like it on the spicey side and put it all in the food processor. I had to add a little oil to make it smooth

    I second Siggis. Best yogurt I've ever had.

    I'm fond of bringing boiled eggs, string cheese, and protein bars wherever I go. Easy to transport, and they help me balance out the carbs that seem to fill out the rest of the day. Also, containers of strawberries - small bite sized things that taste great and don't offer a lot of calories.

    I like to make a filling smoothie to carry with me all day. Stuff like bananas, milk, yogurt, etc make the smoothie filling. It's easy to drink anywhere, and if you have a fridge at work it's easy to store for break times.

    I also swear by toasted seaweed. It's got a light flaky crunch & satisfies savory flavor cravings without many calories.

    Last, I recommend hummus & toast, crackers, or crunchy vegetables. It's meaty and savory, perfect for a boost. And it's only 35 calories per tablespoon (the Sabra kind, anyway)

    How do you marinate the cucumbers? That sounds good.
