A recent study conducted by the University of Missouri suggests that high-protein snacks suppress appetite for longer periods of time than lower-protein snacks.
The result of the study which was published in the journal "Appetite", showed that the women who ate the high-protein snack (at least 25 grams of protein) felt full the longest and requested dinner a half hour later than those who ate a low- or medium-protein snack.
Another similar study, published in the "European Journal of Clinical Nutrition", found that snacking on 1.5 ounces (250 calories) of whole almonds daily suppressed the appetite as well.
High-Protein Snacks Include:
Almond, yogurt, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, cottage cheese, hard-boiled eggs, beef or turkey jerky, cooked beans, tahini dip, hummus, milk, and of course the good old protein bar.
