There are so many that don't that I started thinking of what works for me.

1. Oatmeal (Love the stuff with a dab of brown sugar and skim milk)
2. Bran flakes
3. Apples (Little rascals are filling)
4. Lettuce salad (very satisfying and even with a bit of lite dressing it's not bad on the calories)

    One of my newest snacks/sweet treats is a Kashi granola bar - it ha a ribbon of dark chocolate on it. I'm also a huge fan of small granny smith apples and Baby Bel mini cheese.

    Popcorn, 100 calorie packs or just a reasonable amount air popped. It's filling and a whole grain! Steamed green beans, low in calories we eat them almost like french fries, lol. Multigrain Cheerios, 1 cup with 1/2 cup of skim is just 150 cals, reasonable even for a snack.

    I like light ice cream (Edy's makes some great flavors - 130 calories for 1/2 cup). I usually have celery or red/yellow/orange peppers with my lunch (I am not a raw carrot person). I do like Almond Breeze instead of milk. That's about all I can think of. :grumble:

    Lately, I have been choosing some higher calorie foods, in an effort to feel more satisfied, and not feel so hungry. For example, I have been taking almonds for a snack at work. I have switched from Yoplait yogurt (100 calories) to Greek yogurt (150 - 180). I have replaced my 90 calorie Special K bars with 140-150 bars (a variety of brands).

    I am not sure if it is working or not - I have been maintaining but not really losing (I am fairly close to my goal). So I am going to see how it goes a little longer. But I'll be interested in other posts to this thread. :bigsmile:

    SRIRACHA. It makes everything hot/delicious and the added spiciness helps fill me up.

    Shirataki noodles. The original ones, not the tofu added kind.

    1. Back to Nature - Nantucket Blend - All Natural - Almond Pistachio Cherry Raisin and Cranberry Mix. 3 tbs is really satisfying and healthy!
    2. Clif Bars are all natural, tasty and keep you full for a loooooong time :)

    I totally agree with you on the apples. Those little things really do keep ya full! Use a tablespoon of peanut butter for dipping to add more protein and staying power.

    Shirataki noodles and seafood! Eggs and low fat yogurt. Goat cheese - way fewer calories than other kinds of cheese.
