Afternoon Snack Strategy
An afternoon snack strategy uses a planned protein-and-fiber bridge around mid-afternoon—preventing vending-machine grabs and evening rebound eating.
An afternoon snack strategy is a planned bridge between lunch and dinner—usually protein plus fiber around 3 to 4 p. m.
—so hunger does not hijack vending machines at 4:30. Random grazing adds calories without fixing the slump; a structured snack stabilizes energy when lunch was early or light.
Pre-portion yogurt, nuts, fruit, or a shake at your desk before cravings peak. Ohga suggests afternoon snack windows when users log zero lunch protein, a 2 p.
m. focus crash, and oversized evening snacks on the same weekdays.

What is a good afternoon snack for desk workers?
Aim for fifteen to twenty-five grams protein plus produce or fiber—Greek yogurt and berries, cottage cheese and fruit, or hummus with vegetables. Pair with water, not just coffee.
