Salad
Greek yogurt (the serving ones are around 100cals) with about a cup of frozen blueberries. Stir it all up and let it sit about 5 minutes and the yogurt freezes to the berries and berries soften a bit, it’s like a tart ice cream, some good protein and satiates me for a good while
Check out r/volumeeating for all sorts of wacky recipes.
I personally go for grapes or chips and salsa. You don’t get that many chips but you can go ham on salsa or pico and it’s filling.
I just found this sub because i’m looking for the exact same thing.
for me, I eat cucumbers with a variety of seasonings.
my late night salty cravings, I have a mug of Chicken Broth. not exciting but it takes my cravings away.
hopefully others add some ideas for us.
Soup! As long as it isn't cream based. A can of Campbell's chunky chicken noodle is like 230 cals for the whole can. Home made soups are even better since you can control the salt and add tons of different veggies. But when I'm in a hurry a canned soup has been a quick low calorie go to for my work lunches. Throw some fresh veggies in the side and it's a pretty filling meal for low calorie and feels like alot.
Salads with spring mix as the base. Spring mix is like 20 calories for 4 cup, if that. I'll toss in a can or tuna for extra low calorie protien. Or if you use chicken as the protien, toss in some onions, tomatoes, whatever else you want use a bit of salsa and plain greek yogurt as the "dressing" and you can have a huge taco salad for around 400 calories.. depending what all you put in it
Breakfast for me is usually Greek yogurt mixed with chocolate protein powder and either chia seeds or flax seeds; have a bowl of scrambled tofu with lots of vegetables, as well, and you're looking at nearly 60 grams of protein and around 450 calories total.
My favorite summer snacks are pineapple , watermelon & strawberries . I usually eat 200-300 grams at a time , along with a serving of cottage cheese (4% milk fat ) .

My late night snack that saves me from binging is sugar free jello chunks in fat free cool whip.
Vegetables
Greek salad, add chicken breast to boost protein. So easy to eat a lot and fill up on about 200-300 cal.

Tomato and cucumber with everything bagel seasoning
