    Welcome to MFP! Have you tried whole grain crackers with peanut butter?

    Try nuts. Nuts are calorie rich (so be careful!) and full of fiber.

    They are great for filling calories throughout the day.

    Try a small handful of nuts (not roasted or salted!) with your fruit. It will definately help with your hunger and boost your cals in a healthy way.:smile:

    I was just going to suggest putting 1-2 tbsp of natural unsalted peanut butter (100 cals per tablespoon approx.) on a plain rice cake (about 40 cals).... voila!!! 240 calories with less than 20 mg of sodium
