A part-skim mozzarella cheese stick is a great late-night snack. It contains about 100 calories and 7 grams of protein. Protein is an important factor for any late-night snack because it keeps you feeling full.

Whole wheat toast and whole grain crackers contain complex carbohydrates (think: fiber), which slow the rise of blood sugar. Pair with peanut butter, which is filled with protein and healthy fat, and you'll stay full until the morning.

Whole grain cereals like oatmeal are good sources of fiber. Plus, they’re generally more nutrient-dense than ready-to-eat breakfast cereals.
