    Low fat yogurt, ricotta cheese with cocoa, whole wheat crackers.
    I'd rather eat fruit as a part of my main meals because it doesn't keep me full. I need some protein in my snacks.

    Same here - fruit doesn't keep me full and I want something else too quickly.
    Thanks for all the suggestions.

    If I need fiber: Dang coconut chips.
    If I need calcium or a little protein: Frozen yogurt.
    If I need more protein: Ham or turkey with crackers and maybe cheese. Good crackers, really good cheese.

    My go tos are varied in calories and type based on my needs as a student

    Long Time in between meals due to classes? homemade snack mix for about 200 calories with a decent serving of nuts for protein
    Mindless study snacking (not the best thing I know, but I'm working on it)? Boom Chicka Pop, 4 cups is 120 calories and it is DELICIOUS!
    Quick snack? Rice cake and PB, 2 lightly salted rice cakes and 1 tb of pb clocks in at 160 calories, not too much more than large banana
    I also am a fan of sweet and salty bars, 1 cup tupperware containers of rice chex, string cheese, and apples with PB for a protein kick (protip: 2 tbsp PB2 + 1 TBSP FF Vanilla Greek Yogurt= Amazing dip that has a cheesecake like quality to it.)

    Oh, you are asking a QUESTION. I thought you were giving us an ORDER: Go to Snacks. Go directly to Snacks. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.

    Silly me.

    My new favorite thing is cottage cheese - straight up, no fruit, or nuts or whatever else people put. You can have a lot for few calories, and it is the ONE thing I don't eat fast lol. I am a very fast eater and it can get me into trouble. I love that there is something I can easily eat slowly, especially for a snack and I don't tend to overeat it and I feel satisfied. It is also how I get most of my protein lol.

    Yogurt + 1 tablespoon of oatmeal
    Apple +12 almonds
    A handful of rosted peanuts ( I am very disciplined with measuring!)
    Fruit salad
    2 whole wheat toasts and cheese
    Banana
    150 - 200 g of cottage cheese
    A small piece of pizza
    Oatmeal pancakes (4'' in diameter - mix 1 egg, 90g solid yogurt and 40 g of old fashioned oatmeal)
    Protein bar
    Veggie salad with feta
    Ice cream

    I have a plan to bake high protein muffins as well and freeze them.

    Everything that was already mentioned plus homemade trail mix. Pumpkin seeds/raisins/sometimes walnuts or almonds. I weigh and portion into snack baggies.
