Filling not fattening
How about a list of foods that fill you up but while nutritionally ok, they are not high in calorific content. I have always had a good appetite and while training hard that is not going to change, so mid afternoon munchies need to be satisfied.

Celery Sticks. Yuk!
I've heard they are even "negative yield", requiring more calories to process than they contain. But that changes when you spread on enough peanut butter to make them palatable.

there are no bad foods - only too many foods that can make you fat. With that in mind, why not just get the menus from fast food restaurants and figure out for yourself? Just run a search on the internet and you will find them. Now, that I've said that:
I am on a diabetic diet. I CAN (and do) eat at fast food restaurants on occasion (sometimes we have no choice). You can always go with the salads and low fat dressing (McDonalds salads are pretty good). Chili and a baked potato (plain) is available at Wendy's. You can also put chili ON the baked potato. If you use sour cream - ask for low fat sour cream. You can also use salsa (Wendy's has it). I usually eat the 1/2 pint size.
FYI: baked potatoes are a good diet food (no fat) for most people. If you have a glucose problem (diabetic) stay away from them because they make your sugar levels go up (they are high in the glycemic index).
I also eat the steak breakfast burritos (one of them) at McDonald's along with a cup of coffee/w creamer once a week after church. They are quite filling and taste pretty good. A whole meal in themselves.

Want to learn about foods? Go to a dietician. Many hospitals have courses on how to eat. Your hosptilization may pay for it. Well worth the time.

Green beans. So easy, now that you can buy washed, trimmed, microwave-in-bag beans. I cook 'em so they still have a little crunch, then haul them to work as an afternoon snack. They're great just plain.
Nonfat or 1% cottage cheese is a nice little protein load.
Cheese toast: one slice multigrain bread (I like Arnold's Flax & Fiber) plus one slice 2% American cheese singles (don't get Kraft, which sucks... Crystal Farms is pretty good, as pasteurized process cheeze products go), popped in the toaster oven 'til the cheese is melty and a little brown.
Apple + peanut butter. I can do this only if I buy the single-serving peanut butter packs, due to an unfortunate peanut butter addiction.
The dreaded celery + hummus (roasted red pepper is my favorite).
Deli meat as finger food. I take sliced roast beef to work for an afternoon snack. Has to be the good stuff, though, not the crap on the shelf next to the sandwich loaf.
