Are you actually hungry or is it just the idea of eating something?

If you are hungry I'd eat a boiled egg or a couple of tablespoonfuls of Greek yogurt.

If you just have the munchies then you must resist until tomorrow!

2 tbs = 80 calories according to my fitness pal. May be fate?

That is dry though, not sure if you make it with water or milk?

Green tea? Think that has hardly any cals

Well you can't (hot drink and book) that is the price you have to pay. You can have a nice glass of water and a book instead.

Mint tea is lovely I've heard.

The "cosy hot drunk" sounds nice and he might burn calories Smile

I like the idea of a cosy hot drunk Smile

What I usually have in this situation is weird but works - half a chicken stock cube, mixed up with some soy sauce, chili flakes, ginger etc in a big mug to make a really light soup. For some reason it's really filling.

You can definitely have a hot drink for that! Herbal tea, regular tea or coffee with skimmed milk (not a latte!), even something like an options hot chocolate is only 40 cals :-)
If you are genuinely hungry then as said up thread a boiled egg is perfectly possible, veggies like carrot sticks, an apple... There are loads of choices if you just try to stay away from carb, fat or sugar heavy things!
