    I sometimes have a bowl of soup before a meal on hungry days. Many soups can be pretty low in calories, especially the brothy kind. A simple miso soup fits the bill perfectly.

    Brussels sprouts. Lightly oiled, seasoned, and roasted. After roasting, toss in a bacon dripping vinaigrette.

    I can do a plateful of that for about 250 cals, or a big side for under 150.

    Cauliflower can work with a similar treatment.

    Vegetable stew. I make my own, and I ate a kilo of it (2.2 pounds!) for about 400 calories yesterday. Then I was reeeeeally full. :D

    Beetroot always feels like it should have more calories than it does. It's a substantial root vegetable at approximately 43 calories per 100g. Vegetable marrow and aubergine are also quite good value at around 25 calories/100g.

    Maybe not the healthiest option, but Bisto gravy, also seems surprisingly low - about 14 calories a portion, but can make all your roast vegetables feel like a roast dinner!
