Looks for snack ideas?
Need snacks that will actually fill me up.
I'm struggling with my hunger.
Currently have trail mixes and been doing one peice of wheat bread with turkey and some applesauce.

I keep some Slim Jims in my desk at work. If I’m feeling snacky I drink some water or coffee first. If that doesn’t kill it I’ll grab a Slim Jim or some almonds.3

Plain Greek yogurt with cut up fresh fruit is my go to when I am very hungry and have a while before meal. I use the fat free, but even the regular isn't too high on calories. Chobani non fat has 120 calories per cup with 22 grams of protein, 9 grams carbs.
I cut up some fruit - berries or stone fruit - and top with about 6oz of yogurt. If the fruit isn't sweet enough I add a splenda packet. I eat it slower than a prepackaged snack so I end up feeling satisfied.
My other lower calorie filling options are:
hummus and veggies
Oatmeal
Broth based soup
Low carb wrap (only 60 calories!) with chicken, turkey, spread with hummus or dip, filled with leftover fajita veggies, etc...
Banana
Hard boiled eggs
Tuna packet
Hope this helps!9 -

If you're struggling with hunger, check if you're eating enough.
Food shouldn't just fill you up, but provide all the nutrition you need, without exceeding your calorie need.
It's perfectly normal to want to eat more than you need.
You don't have to eat just because you want to. Sometimes we have to tell ourselves no.
You can eat anything you want.2 -
Chocolate plant protein shake. It’s 110 cals and genuinely fills me up. I was skeptical, but it works for me.1

Since they are in season, I will have 250 grams of strawberries as my after dinner snack (80 calories). It's a substantial amount, so I'm not left wanting, like I would for 2 oreos or something like that.6

I eat too much watermelon sometimes. If you flip though my diary you will find several days over 500 grams. Wednesday I had 700g of watermelon and 12 oz of fresh pineapple with lunch. Anyone who thinks you can't get fat on fruit can take lessons from me. Actually, I am in maintenance and make it fit now, but I have had days where 1000 calories came from fruit.4 -
Overnight Oats which I just eat immediately, I don't wait for the night to pass. Those 'maker' oats cost a fortune so I make my own. I use one Bare Oats package, you can add some protein powder or a handful of nuts, dried fruits and I like unsweetened almond/coconut milk. I like cottage cheese on toast or a baked potato with cottage cheese on top with steamed broccoli crowns, some parmesan cheese and tad of paprika, too.2

I keep a variety of nuts on hand for the occasional snack. I’m also currently obsessed with Jeff’s Natural Olives; the feta stuffed olives are my favorite.1

Low-fat popcorn, 100 calories per bag!!2

I just baked 37kcal brownies (google), though they came in at around 60kcal per piece. I just don't know how to deal with cups, and how much a cup actually is. They might be nice inbetween snacks though.1

If I just want to eat to eat, (not because I'm starving) I like the 100 calorie bags of popcorn, especially the Kettle Corn flavor.
And for my nightly "dessert" I buy the Chobani flip yogurts. I like the s'mores, cookies and cream, and mint chocolate chip flavors.2 -

Baking is essentially chemistry so accurate quantities are important. Most baking recipes have a weight instead of or in addition to a volume. Is this not the case with your recipe? You should always use the given weight rather than the volume.
If there is no weight given, I would start with 250g for a cup as this is what a cup of something “weighs” without taking the density into account. Excess or shortages of specific ingredients will have different effects on the results https://ueat.utoronto.ca/baking-ingredients-function/ Adjust the ingredient(s) you are unsure of depending on your result. Hope this helps1 -
i like to eat one apple and 2 medium sized carrots for a snack! it takes awhile to eat so it feels like you’re getting more food then you actually are, and it’s nutritious!4

Chocolate chia seed pudding with flavorless bone broth protein powder in it. I put a little peanut butter on the bottom of the dish & then pour the chocolate pudding on top. Very filling & tasty & gives that boost that’s needed in the afternoon. 👍🏻👍🏻😁😁2
