I'm also a protein-craver when it comes to munchies & hungries! I'll often grab a hard boiled egg or some string cheese or a small dish of cottage cheese with salsa (I know it sounds odd -- it was a pregnancy craving I still enjoy 3+ years laters!).
till ur there, thank you! I didn't think to look in the refrigerated section for the jello! As for the chocolate sauce, I now know where to start looking!
Roll up iceburg or other lettuce into little cigar shaped tubes and dip them into salsa. They're crunchy and it's kinda like eating salsa and chips minus the calories! Salsa only has 5 calories per tablespoon so you can double dip all you like and probably eat a Hundred if you really wanted to and still only have 150 calories! No one wants to eat a hundred though. =) Also you know they say spicy foods speed up the metabolism and it'll keep you drinking water which will make you feel full!
I love my sugar free stuff~jello & pudding I have found 5 calorie jello at walmart. and the pudding vanilla is 60 calories and chocolate is 70 calories.
Other things Are:
Yogurt~Danon(60 calories)
Rice crispie treats(90 calories)
Tyson ~crispy chicken strips~100 calories for a huge strip!Add that with some salad mixture and you have a great little extra meal.
100 calorie packs of cookies or snacks (cost a little bit more but are prepacked but are great calorie savers and great when your having the munchies.
I buy all the above stuff at My local walmart shopping center.
The key is to look for sugar free or items that have the calories marked On the front of the pack where you can plainy see they are low in calories and find your mix of stuff that will help when you have food cravings.
Kale chips. I just made about three cups and then INHALED them, and oh my goodness it was satisfying. They are not filling, really, but when you want to mindlessly snack on something crispy and salty and not have to worry much about quantity? Amazing. I figure my indulgence was only 184 calories, which mostly came from the olive oil. Plus you really don't have to feel guilty because olive oil is a pretty healthy oil and kale is awesome for you. These sound and look weird but they are easy and delicious.

As has been pointed out, you can just google kale chips. What I did was preheat the oven to 350, rip up a bunch of kale in big chip sized pieces, then toss it with equal parts olive oil and vinegar (I used white wine vinegar but you could probably experiment). I added a shake of sea salt, made sure everything was oily, then tossed it onto a couple of baking sheets (with wax paper on them) sothat it was pretty much a single layer rather than a pile. I put them in the oven. After about ten minutes they were crispyand I took them out, let them cool a bit, then popped then in a bowl and DEVOURED them.
Rita's Sugar Free Water Ice - 4 of the flavors are only 20 calories for a regular size ice (root beer, pink lemonade, cherry, tangerine).
Cold Stone Creamery - I just discovered their sinless ice cream options. The Like It size of sinless sweet cream is only 140 calories. They also have a Sinless Cake Batter ice cream that is only 190 calories for Like It size. I get a kids size Sinless Sweet Cream which is about half the size of the Like It and its only about 70 calories and is a nice sweet treat.
My other indulgences are a little Dixie cup full of mini-marshmallows (100 calories), string cheese sticks, a 100 calorie pack of almonds, or a 150 calorie Dark Chocolate and Nut granola bar.
