Even though the yogurt had more protein, it didn’t make women feel significantly fuller than the crackers at the 90-minute mark.

Even though the yogurt snack made women feel fuller at one point after eating, overall they didn’t feel significantly more full than after eating chocolate or crackers.

Even though a yogurt snack and a cracker snack had the same calories, women ate less at dinner after the yogurt—yet they didn’t feel less hungry than after the crackers.

Other studies have found mixed results when testing protein snacks, meaning the effect isn’t always the same—it depends on what kind of snack and who’s eating it.

When healthy women eat a protein-rich yogurt snack in the afternoon instead of a chocolate bar, they feel less hungry later on, especially about an hour and a half after eating.

This study only looked at what happened after one snack, so we don’t know if eating yogurt every afternoon helps with weight loss over time.
