Veggies and hummus0

Fermented Veggies (similar to the kimchi idea) - salty, tangy, tart... I use these veggies and ferment them for about a week and the result is really great! 1 TBSP non iodized salt and 1/4 cup of Bragg's Raw Apple Cider Vinegar. Mix it all together in a mixing bowl and then put into a quart jar (you have to press it down to get it all in) and make sure to shake it every day. I use Fermilid - Waterless Fermentation and Pickling Airlock Lids For Wide Mouth Mason Jars and I have never had an issue with it going bad.

Any other good ones out there people use to curb hunger without binging???
Protein, fiber and fat are the usual suspects for satiety, but it's a different combination for everyone.
If fat-free fiber is satiating to you - cucumber, zucchini, celery, romaine. If fat-free fiber isn't satiating to you....then you're going to have to "spring" for some calories.
My snacks are typically food I'm craving.....a piece of dark chocolate, salty crunchy popcorn, or an ice cream bar. I generally eat my veggies with meals.
Edited to add - hunger between meals. Try a few thing to address that - your calorie goal may be too low for you, experiment with meal timing, trying incorporating the 3 elements above (protein, fiber and fat) into meals. It takes time to find the right balance.
To add to that, some people find that low energy / high volume foods help with satiety. There is something called the "volumetrics" diet that focuses on this and how the stomach is a volume sensor. Worth looking into

Rather than a fad diet, this approach emphasizes many of the same healthy eating tips that are widely accepted, like eating large quantities of vegetables.0 -
Dried Wasabi Peas. 28gram is 120 calories and they take forever to eat. If you are a "grazer" they are great because they give you something to snack on, but they are so hot, they take forever to get through...1

Fruit! Plus it’s nice to eat raw veggies.. or cooked, but raw saves time.0
-
String cheese/ soya milk/ egg whites- cooked/ rice cakes0
-
Also - have you had enough to drink? Sometimes we can mistake hunger for thirst. Perhaps have a drink before having a snack.0

If I'm hungry in the evening, I'll have a cup of no sugar added hot chocolate and 10 mini pretzels. All together it's about 110 calories and it kills my hunger.

Take a half a head or so, break it up, toss it with a tbsp or two of olive oil, salt, pepper, and bake at 350-375F until it's getting brown around the edges. Dip in low calorie ranch, or anything you want or just eat it like that. It's higher fiber, low calorie (if you watch how much oil you use), and baking it transforms the flavor. A large serving of it is low in calories and very filling.
This is delicious, the other night I did half a head of cauliflower and a bunch of carrots I peeled and cut into similar sizes. It was great and low on calories for the volume of each serving0 -
I love cauliflower, I’m going to have to try baking it like that!0

Slimfast barbecue chips. 100c per bag. Really good.0

Avocado has to be a fruit because it's seeded. A big giant seed on the inside. Like tomato would be a fruit.0
