I like Caesar salad wraps with Cedar's low carb whole wheat wraps, romaine lettuce, Newman's Own light Caesar dressing and then a couple of small strips of grilled chicken breast. It's pretty low calorie (under 300 calories), filling, and I would imagine pretty low carb. (Though I don't count carbs.) 

Ok this probably isnt healthy at all but on friday for a snack pizza w.o the crust. Pretty much its just a slice of pepperoni(we dont ever have turkeyroni in my house) a tsp of boboli pizza sauce and a small pinch of lowfat skim mozzarella. Im pretty sure there isnt that many carbs in it. Im not even sure if its really that healthy. But it sure was delicious. lol

a big salad with lots of veggies! along with a cup of soup. healthy and something warm to fill your tummy!

I just had 5oz drained, solid white tuna mixed with 1 tbsp. light mayo and 1 tbsp. dijon mustard with a chopped up gala apple.  And had yogurt as a side.  Yum. Total calories 390.

A new fave of mine is a can of chop suey vegetables, mixed with a can of chicken breast and some of my favorite asian sauce.  Today it's Archer Farms Thai Peanut sauce.  Quick, easy and satisfying.  About 225 calories.

One thing I eat often is a rough cut tuna salad (celery, onion, pickles w/ light mayo) and a few wheat thins.

tuna on top of hearty green salad with some Asian dressing

or half a sandwich with light mayo no cheese lots of veggies and can of light progresso soup

Or  chopped chicken breast, canned mandarin orange slices on top of green salad with light poppy seed dressing

Thanks for the help everyone. :]
