Favorite go to meal or snack that keeps you on track with decent eating

I mean dishes with cabbage. If I am watching my calories, cabbage soup, cabbage everything. You can even make "pasta" using cabbage. Ok, no you can't, but if you are hungry and want a huge portion, substitute all or some of the pasta with cabbage cut in chunks. Pour that bolognese or what sauce you like and have as much as you can.
I also like to snack on some pumpkin seeds.

Hommus hardly has any protein in it. Maybe a couple grams per serving

It has a ton of fiber though. Nothing wrong with hummus.

I guess it depends how much you eat. The hummus I currently have in my frig (Ithaca brand) has 1 gram of fiber and 2
gram of protein for a 2 tablespoon serving. Nothing at all wrong with that, but it isn’t really all that nutrient dense

There’s more to life than macros. They’re pretty nutrient dense. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/food-features/chickpeas-garbanzo-beans/

Eating plain chickpeas and eating hummus are not the same. Hummus is thinned considerable with water, oil, tahini. That is why 2 Tablespoons don't have much fiber or protein at all but a considerable amount of calories, depending on brand. You are better off eating a small bowl of chickpeas drizzled with olive oil and cumin. The smear of hummus on a carrot isn't adding much benefit to you.

Can buy it almost anywhere - CVS, Walgreens, Amazon, etc. All the taste of peanut butter with a fraction of the fat and calories.

And this right here is why I will never lose weight. Reading a discussion on the relative benefits of chickpeas v. hummus makes me want to stab myself.
