Quick, healthy snack ideas that aren’t nuts, raw veggies, or fruit?

Is beef jerky healthy?

I’ve thought about increasing my cheese intake. Like eat three cheese sticks instead of one.

It has a good amount of protein but a shite ton of sodium

Depends on the beef jerky, a lot of it is pretty loaded with sugar.

Yep. You pretty can't buy the big name brand stuff like Jack Links or Oberta, but the health food stores have decent options. Best option, though, is to make deer jerky out of this years deer which obviously isnt possible for everyone, but its good stuff.

Greek yogurt. I do Dannon Light N Fit. It is 80 calories and comes in plenty flavors that you shouldn't need sweeteners for. You won't feel full immediately, but once it settles I find that it fills me up more than most items at such a low calorie amount.

Sara Lee makes a bread that is 45 calories per slice. The possibilities are endless. Cinnamon toast with zero calorie sweetener. Avocado toast. Grilled cheese. Any kind of sandwich you can imagine. Peanut butter toast using PB2. Sure, bread can be empty carbs but at 45 calories, you can eat 2-3 slices before you even start approaching the calorie levels of nuts. If you are doing something high in protein or fat on the bread, it should satisfy you.

You want real results?

Canned sardines (wild planet lemon)
Canned smoked oysters
Avocado half
Rx Bars for packaged option

Drink about 16 oz. of water when you feel like snacking. It will make you feel full.

Nuts don’t do it for me when it comes to curtailing hunger and cravings.

Sometimes this is an issue with waiting too long to eat them. If you are a little hungry at 2:30, but starving at 3pm, you will not get full. If you eat them at 2:30, you may be ok

And as said, slam water

Just curious, why was this a bad choice?

I didn't downvote you, but oatmeal ain't quick.

Yes, if you get the right kind. Try all the Duke's Smoked Shorty Sausage varieties. Almost zero carbs and lots of spice (depending on the variety you get.) You should be indifferent to sodium.

You should. Find a high quality, high fat cheese that you like and eat the shite out of it on the reg.

Also, I find swigs of heavy cream to be delicious and satiating.
