Any ideas for relatively low-calorie filling snacks?
I've just made some vegetable soup. This had carrots, onions, celery, mushrooms, parsnip, potato, corgette, two stock cubes (for two portions), tomato paste, garlic, herbs and spices. I find this filling and ' a meal'. I didn't eat bread or anything else with it.
Occasionally I will make a vegetable stew with similar ingredients but less stock and processed differently.
I like gherkins, and do eat crackers with gherkins and sliced tomatoes on them.
Any other suggestions?

I googled cornichons only to find out that they were gherkins by another name.
Raw onion? Hmmm ... not for me. But i like steamed miniature onions, and perhaps a selection of steamed vegetables would be another relatively low calorie meal.
Melon is low calorie, but I just don't like melons. Apples seem to be reasonably low calorie, e.g. they have half the calories of bananas and about a sixth of the calories of a similarly sized mars bar.
Tesco's flavoured rice cakes - salt n vinegar ones are the lowest fat, some pretzels are ok, they vary so I read the labels.
Pickles are wonderful as you know.
Tesco's own light options have some biscuits ( like garibaldis) they're good, plus their version of Philadelphia is the lowest fat I've seen.:)
- Melba toast with Light Philadelphia
- Wafer thin ham
I had forgotten about pumpernickel. Lidls do a lovely sunflower seed one.
Or home made pesto/tapenade.
I've got an unopened jar of olives that could be used for tapenade. And I'm thinking that thinly spread mustard may be a good way to ring the changes too.
Thinking further, I think I've only eaten sauerkraut once, but I liked it.
was just pointing out for a snack they are lowest calorie crisps
Aubergine Pickle
I see those in the 99p store fairly often. Mango is a good one.
A lovely tzatziki.
I love roasted celery.
I'm not a great fan of celery and cucumbers eaten raw. But chopped with other things in a salad - much better.
I'm not a great lover of raw celery but would never leave it out stocks.
I love Sauerkraut, in fact I had some for lunch today. Barely any calories in the Sauerkraut, but a fair few in the big fat Bratwurst and sub roll I enjoyed it with.
Actually they are in the 99 calories or less range Walkers slapped on the bags. They are much better for you than most cereal bars.
Tis a myth.
I love the multi-grain ryvita
