I'm not above cutting off a chunk of Locatelli Pecorino Romano cheese that's usually used mostly for grating. Having a piece in my fridge is predictable as the sun rising in the East. Goes great with red wine.
Growing up my mother would suggest I have a slice of cheese if I needed to hold myself over. It wouldn't be unusual for me to still grab a slice of Swiss or cheddar, but I'm trying to eat better and this is an example of what I'm trying to stop.
A little yogurt is always an option.
One overarching theme for me, is snacks have to last long before spoiling. Im single and travel a lot (100+ hotel rooms a year). I don't run through food like a family of four.

I agree on the Locatelli, that's my go to for grated cheese. For cutting off a chunk, and to shave on salads, I use Reggiano Parm.
