Can anyone suggest healthy but also filling snacks? (Not fruit as I eat this at other times of the day) I have a manual job and get hungry at 11am.

I like the low fat string cheese myself, or the baby-bell lights. Bowl of instant oatmeal works well (I like the 'weight control' because it adds extra protein & fiber), and I like the taste of the FiberOne or FiberPlus bars. Greek yogurt is also one of my faves, I get it plain and then throw in a fiber enriched sweetener (splenda with fiber or inulin) and maybe a touch of honey, or fruit.
Cut veggies are also good, carrots, peppers, celery (if you're hungry enough to eat celery, you need food!) All of these go well in hummus - as apparently does cheese according to my husband...
Handful of almonds is also not bad, but it's easy to get lots of calories with them if you're not careful

Thanks for the ideas. I love Celery
I'll try some cut veggies. If anyone has any recipes for a fiber bar I could make at home I'd be grateful.

All of the things Jeanette mentioned are great snack options. I use those as snack for me and my husband all week.
I'll add a few more: Hard Boiled Eggs, Homemade Cheese and Cracker Sandwich Minis (using a laughing cow cheese wedge), or Mixed Nuts.
Sometimes, I eat half of what could be considered a meal. For example: 1/2 a wrap, 3 Sushi or a few Shrimp (sometimes with cocktail sauce).
