First make sure you're not thirsty by drinking a big glass of water.
Cup of soup or broth (usually less than 80 calories and the heat can satiate for a long time).
A carrot and a glass of water. For me something that's crunchy and takes a while to eat is most helpful. The fact it's fibrous seems to give my stomach something to do LOL.
edamame is good-- another good for a chocolate fix and I know it sounds wired but it really is good: 1 cup fat free ricotta cheese, 1-2 tablespoons cocoa powder (more or less depending on your choc hunger), 1 teaspoon vanilla (or to taste), 1 or 2 packets splenda--again depending on your taste...80 calories 1/2 cup

That doesn't sound gross at all, it's actually KIND of the way i lost 100 lbs. i had to replace my daily chocolate fix (usually daily 1/2 lb bag of M&M's at least!) so i do a nightly cup of 30 cal almond/vanilla milk with 2 T dark cocoa powder, stevia to sweeten and a guilty dash of flavored creamer such as irish creme heated up to make hot cocoa
Pickles are one of my favorite snacks, too.
I also like radishes, pepperoncini, and plain arugula.
And I don't worry about counting the calories for any of these. Instead I usually pat myself on the back for choosing one of them instead of some of the other choices available in my kitchen.
I eat pickled everything. Brussel sprouts, garlic, beets, onions, quails eggs, herring, jalepenos you name it. I like the way pickles keep and they are almost as good nutritionally.
