What can I have with my coffee? Ideas please

I'd go with a granola bar w/ protein. You can find a decent one in the 100-150 cal range.

Biscotti is amazingly satisfying for the calories. Like @Strawblackcat , I like to have one or two really good cookies. Sometimes I mix in some protein powder and that itself is a nice, sweet treat.

One slice of toast with peanut butter isn't bad. Just be sure to measure out your peanut butter to the recommended serving size - I know I have a tendency to go overboard with PB

If you want to kick it up a notch, try a slice of Ezekiel bread (high fibre, high protein) with a powdered peanut butter like PB2 (high protein, high fibre, low fat).

Definitely biscotti. YUM.

Biscotti? That's baby weaning food in the U.K.
Biscuits.

As in the double-baked Italian pastry meant to be taken with coffee (at least if you're not an Italian), not baby food.

Weight watchers do a good range of chocolate-y snacks (most are individually wrapped to stop temptation of eating more than one!) Most are under 100 calories and low in saturated fats. They do things such as chocolate digestives biscuits, mini rolls, chocolate wafers -you can grab them in most supermarkets. Also fibre one brownies, more on the pricier side of things but each brownie is 99 calories and they are great. I recently discovered that chocolate orange club cake bars actually have pretty good macros.. pretty shocking as it's not what you'd expect.. they are only 99 calories per cake bar. Things on they higher end of they calorie scale at roughly 215 calories per bar is grenade protein bars (you can get them in Holland and barrett!)they are 2.50 each (expensive, I know but totally worth it!) And they have 20g protein each.. they are pretty filling and do not taste at all like protein bars.. they are amazing! Hope this helps I'm a firm believer in the 'if it fits your macros' way of life. Nothing wrong with a chocolate treat.

I often have a slice of really grainy bread with about half a tbs of nut butter and some berries with my evening coffee or tea. I also really like making a little mix of berries, almonds, and dark chocolate chips. Or I peel and separate a clementine and dip the pieces into some melted dark chocolate and then sprinkle with some sea salt - it only takes a few minutes to make but it tastes super indulgent.

ah.... my indulgence is a square (or two) of Lindt 85% Cacao chocolate. The squares are large-ish and I break it into 4 small pieces and it's like bliss, lol

I agree about Biscotti. A store-bought brand like Nonni's can be a little a 110 cals per cookie. And they're really surprisingly satisfying. You can get one that's dipped in dark chocolate if chocolate is what you crave.
