I amgetting so hungry between meals. I need some low kilojoule foods so I don’t keep snacking on cookies and other junk. Any ideas would be appreciated. Especially filling very low calorie foods

all kindsa stuff, but try to keep snacks under 100 calories since your on a diet
All kinds of fruits and vegetables and whole grain foods like oatmeal (which are complex carbohydrates) provides plenty of fiber so that you will fill up quickly and feel fuller longer, but on less calories.
And you had mentioned that you eat cookies and other junk foods between meals… well because those cookies are just simple carbohydrates (foods that are not whole grain products that will not keep you feeling full at all), you will still feel hungry.
But try eating slower and perhaps have 5 to 6 mini meals instead of having 3 big meals a day… so by doing this you can eat every 3 or 4 hours to prevent feeling hungry all the time.
So for some more snack ideas or mini meals, you could have yogurt with some granola and fruit, cottage cheese with some toast and or fruit, small salad with some lean protein like chicken strips, 1/2 a turkey sandwich (or what ever type of meat you prefer) with some apple wedges, oatmeal, a small pita or sandwich wrap, 1 oz of almonds (which is about 21 almonds) with a small pear, a bowl of cereal milk, toasted english muffin with some peanut butter, homemade fruit smoothie, granola bar with yogurt, etc… honestly the list could go on and on… there are a lot of great low cal snack foods that you could have.
So good luck and just make sure that your diet is providing enough whole grains, fruits, veggies and lean proteins. The fiber will help keep you fuller longer and also the protein as well because it takes a longer time to digest these foods… so then you won’t feel like snacking in between.
