I have found rice crackers to be my saving grace! Each one is about 40 calories. I top that with a tablespoon of guacamole and a squeeze of lime (makes it 60 calories). It's delicious and satisfying. If I'm starving, I can even eat two and maintain my deficit! Good luck!5

Cucumbers, lettuce, pickles, etc. Things that are like zero everything usually with some seasoning on them or mixed into small salads.4

rice cakes topped with pb, banana + cinnamon
carrot, cucumber, pepper sticks with hummus
greek yogurt topped with fruit
homemade protein oat bars7 -
today I prepared celery and TBSP peanut butter.... not tried it yet.... I hate celery, so I don't even know why im trying it.5

I like Siggis Icelandic style yogurt cups (skyr). They are 100-130 Cals and ~15g of protein.
Grape tomatoes
Small apples2 -
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..1

Hummus and carrot sticks, hard boiled egg, broccoli and 2 tbsp of light ranch, unsweetened apple sauce, fruit, string cheese, fruit bars, Yasso Greek yogurt bars, Jack Links Beef Sticks, slices of cucumber and 2 tbsp of guacamole, Breakstone 2% cottage cheese cup, Simply 100 Chobani, and Kind bars.2

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.0 -
It makes 46 servings and there are 33 calories for each one.0

My fav is cottage cheese with sugar free jello (powder only) to taste. Sprinkle a tsp and mix it up add another tsp if you need more. I use strawberry and raspberry jello.5

How do you make homemade protein bars?0 -
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!0

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 smooth3

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)0 -

How do you marinate the cucumbers? That sounds good.2
