I saw my doctor recently and while talking about what a lazy fat-ass I am, he mentioned something about replacing the crap I usually snack on with healthier snacks like seasoned air-fried cauliflower or something like that. So what are your favorite healthy-ish snacks that can be made relatively quickly when I feel like shoving food in my face for no reason other than boredom and force of habit?

Fruit. Nobody has ever gotten fat from eating too much fruit.

    Many fruit contain a lot of sugar and not all of them have such a strong laxative effect as apples. It's harder to overeat on them than with cheese or bags of chips and they certainly contain a lot of healthy stuff like vitamins and fiber that many people are a bit short on, but it doesn't take that much additional sugar in your diet to become overweight. It's especially dangerous when you start processing them, e.g. smoothies or juices.

    OP is asking about snacks. Eating a banana or pear or whatever as a snack will not cause the issues you warn against. Fruit is filling and contains moisture in addition to fiber. Should a person eat nothing but fruit? No. But for snacking? Hell yes.

    My point is that it's absolutely possible to get fat from fruit, in contrast to the comment I replied to. If you pig out on calorie-dense fruit like bananas or cherries every day, you will absolutely get fat. So, OP should be mindful about which fruit he chooses for his snacks and control his portions.
