Evening snack that fills you but leaves room for dinner — what do you actually eat?
After work or a 6–7pm walk, what do you reach for when you’re hungry but don’t want to spoil dinner? Say the one snack you actually use (roasted chana, fruit + curd, small paratha, whey shake, air-fryer veggies, etc.), why it works for you (satiety, quick, cheap) and any tiny prep tip that makes it easy.

I usually do an apple with a single‑serve peanut‑butter packet. It takes two minutes, travels well, and actually quiets hunger without making me too full for dinner. Tiny prep tip: buy the little PB packets and stash a couple in your bag — no spoon, no mess. If I know I’ll be home later I’ll slice the apple and toss the pieces with a splash of lemon so they don’t brown.

Aim for a 150–250 kcal ‘mini‑meal’ with ~7–15 g protein plus fibre/veg. Protein (curd, paneer, roasted chana, whey) + fibre (fruit, raw veg, whole grains) boosts satiety and delays hunger, so you eat less at dinner. Quick examples: 100 g low‑fat curd + chopped fruit; 30 g roasted chana + cucumber; one small besan chilla; 50–75 g paneer cubes. Prep tip: pre‑portion servings or keep single‑serve curd/fruit ready. Avoid sugary snacks that cause a quick energy crash.
