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.

Even though the yogurt snack wasn’t as tasty as the chocolate or crackers, it still made women less hungry and made them eat less later.

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.

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

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.
