Hey! I've been wondering how many calories should a snack be?
And also it would be great if you coukd give me some examples of yummy and high protein snacks!

    You're supposed to keep it about 100-200 calories per snack, though there's a lot of foods that advertise being only 100, only 75, etc. calories. Unfortunately, as I don't really keep up with protein intakes, I can't give you any good protein snack choices.

    I've always been a "6 small meals a day" eater, so my snacks are between 200-300 calories

    Whatever's appropriate for you and your calorie budget. If you feel the need to snack outside of meals, ask yourself why - there might be a valid reason, and possibly even for them to be bigger than they are.
