I’m trying to make a dedicated effort to eat healthier. Meals are easy enough, but snacking is killing me—what do you skinny bitches grab on the go (say, just after leaving the office before boarding the subway home) that’s available and quick but low in calories?
Skinny people: What’s your go-to snack?

Make your luncheon as your primary meal and eat a huge salad. You will naturally lose weight. Snacks? Don't drink coffee or sugary drinks. Back in the day everyone ate a bologna sandwich and were pretty thin.

Don't snack - only one meal a day. I've been that way for 30 years.
I've deduced that my one meal, at the end of the day, is my reward. I do love sweets but only in moderation. That's would be a vice with the other, materbation (not at the same time).

Honestly it’s the daily math, total calories. I’m skinny and a constant grazer… and meal skipper. I go healthy sometimes and skip lunch, just have a KIND bar and a bottle of greens juice at noon, then snack again 4pm.

Fruit and some nuts - brazil and macademia are the most healthy, but I usually go with almonds and cashews for taste.
It's easy to eat too many nuts, so measure it out - no more than a quarter to one-third cup.

OP, if you're asking this, chances are you are almost certainly not meeting your daily protein macros, so try and stick to high protein snacks. They fill you up for longer than carbs do and can help you get closer to your daily protein needs.

I stick to three meals a day which each contain protein and healthy fat that help keep me satisfied.
If I were to snack, it would be on something like nuts, seeds, dried legumes, or a dessertspoon of peanut butter that doesn't have sugar or salt added with an apple or banana. Or brown rice crackers with hommous.

Go days with no snacks. Unsweatened tea. Or water. .
in the old days I'd smoke a cigarette. I dont smoke anymore and I guess few people do.
If you really must snack, think keto protein and fat. You probably need to reduce carbs radically in your total caloric intake. So "on the go" you grab cooked chicken pieces or noncured meats from the deli such as roast beef or roast pork. We have sliced non-cured pork roast at least in switzerland. And cheese. Fat is your friend. Fat and protein. eat a hard boiled egg. roll up sliced meat and cheese and eat that. NO BREAD, you fattie.

Something like walnuts or a cheese stick. But I think what helps the most is nightly fasting. Try to have an early dinner. Then only water until breakfast. So if you can get 12 hours without any food, you should lose weight.

I generally stick with either an apple, orange, or a banana. But once in a while I crave something a little more savory. Then I usually prepare 6 or so saltines with a slice of cheddar cheese and a ring of Vidalia onion. I find the mixture of tastes from the cheddar and the onion to be very nice.

Banannas....ot slice an apple in half and put peanut butter or a low fat nut butter on both halves. Also lors of water. Chia seeds in water, let sit for 10 mins..it goes gloopy (u can add more water). It stops hunger and even better than water alone as they hold 1000 times their own weight in water. If its savoury u want, slice a pece out of the length of a bananna and sprinkle pink hymalayan salt onto the gap.

Fresh fruit (also, fresh fruit salads from my neighborhood supermarket)
Nuts (only a handful for an afternoon snack)
If I'm craving popcorn, a mini size bag of microwave popcorn
If I'm craving potato chips, (highly recommend) a bag of Pop chips.
I'm very rarely hungry (only dinner which is salad and a protein) since changing my daily regiment to this, along with exercise in the morning and again when I come home from work. So far, (I'm female), since I've started this lifestyle change a year ago, I've dropped from a size 16 to a size 8.

I love snacking, but it's rare that I'll eat past 3pm, unless it's going out to dinner or on vacation. Nuts, cheese, or if I want something sweet, cocoa dusted almonds or 2 dates with some unadulterated peanut butter. A lot of fluids.. I love TJ's plantain chips, but those are like crack-I'll eat a half bag at one sitting, so I can't have those around all the time. They're empty calories unfortunately.
