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.

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.

Women ate about 100 fewer calories at dinner after eating yogurt than after chocolate, but this difference was just shy of being statistically significant.

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

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.
