Any healthy snacks that can satisfy?

Page last modified on: October 16, 2008

Question from Steph: I'm always hungry. Are there any healthy snacks that can really fill you up?: Answers —Melinda Irwin, Ph.D., M.P.H.: Popcorn is usually good.; Cyndi Thomson, Ph.D., R.D.: I tend to push people toward raw fresh vegetables, because they can help fill you up. There's a lot of good high fiber crackers on the market now, like All Bran and Triscuit, etc. Quite honestly, a little bit of fat at the end of a snack, like maybe a teaspoon or two with the last cracker will help to satisfy you more. Or maybe some string cheese.; Melinda Irwin, Ph.D., M.P.H.: I like cottage cheese. You can get fat-free cottage cheese. That fills me up.
