I get home from work midafternoon after a long commute and have about 20 minutes before I'm back on the carpool circuit. I'd like to keep my snack at about 150 calories. Can you give me some suggestions that are really filling so I don't end up overeating at dinner?

Cashews if you measure them out.
Some high-fiber crackers with a mini babybel cheese or string cheese. |

| Half an avocado, or cashews. |

| Things that are warm and liquidy like soup. |

| Not sure about the exact calories, but greek yogurt and fruit is very filling. |

| Celery and peanut butter |

| Air popped popcorn is 31 calories per cup, so you could have 5 cups. If you use a little oil or butter, it would be less, but still filling. |

OP here. Thank you; these are all good suggestions.
Interesting that two people mentioned cashews. Are they more filling than other nuts, or you just happen to like them best? |

I think they they taste richer and creamier, which makes me happier/more satisfied. |

| I do almonds or cashews. Trader Joe's sells ones we love (chili-lime cashews and roasted salted almonds). When I was pregnant, I had a jar of low sugar peanut butter in my desk, and I used to just eat spoonfuls when I got hungry. |

| Luna protein bars are good. 170 calories and low glycemic value, so they should keep you feeling full. |

I like an English cucumber (not as watery as standard), sprinkled with Everything Bagel seasoning.
They are large, so you get a lot quantity wise for less than 50 calories with the seasoning. They are addictingly good. |
