    My go to food is usually sweet potatoes. They're one of the best foods you can eat, many different ways to cook them and a good sized potato is around 100 cals.

    For snacks, I'm addicted to cocoa roasted almonds. Emerald has started selling them in 100 calorie packs, and they're delicious.

    Air poped popcorn is awesome and so filling, so are rice cakes you can them in a salty or sweet flavor. Drink a glass of water after either of the above and I'm immensly full :)

    ALMONDS!!!! I've recently discovered the 'flavored' ones by Blue Diamond. Habanero BBQ and Wasabi/Soy Sauce are my two faves. they run about $4 a can, but if you eat one serving at a time, they last. They really tide me over when I'm starving, and I sometimes add them to a meal if i feel like i'm not full enough.

    I'm also a fan of sardines, but people either love 'em or hate 'em! Tons of good protein and healthy fat. (Protein + Fat = Satiety)

    I mix 2 tablespoons of flax meal into a singe-serve container of Greek yogurt. 200 calories, 19 grams of protein and 9 of fibre. It's the protein/fibre combo that is magical - keeps me full for a couple of hours - and it tastes good!
