I hate this. I need to stop eating chips whenever I get home from work, so I didn't buy any. Then I get home from work and I don't have any chips to eat and dinner isn't soon enough😩

Sadly that's when I make worse decisions. I end up finding out I have oats or cocoa powder and I'm making some excuse to make cookies or a cake lol

I buy those round gluten free things. I start eating them and they taste so bland the need goes away

Get White cheddar rice cakes. Are they chips? No. Do they satisfy the craving? No. But are they with eating anyway? Also no.

Eating rice cakes is like getting a handjob from the wind.

I stopped that bc it made me obsess about snacks and binge when they were in front of me.

If it’s always there it’s less stress and easier to practice moderation 😋

Pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, various nuts and other baked legumes are decent alternatives for chips.

There are all rice chips, root chips, pea chips, and so forth.

Nothing, however, can replace real chips...

Don't buy chips, buy good food to snack on.

Apples and cheese makes a great snack. Even quality peanut butter is better than ultra processed chips.

They are delicious, too bad the ones with toppings have very unhealthy ingredients. (Chips aren't much healthier lol) I usually get the cakes made from corn, with a very slight pinch of salt. But these packs are gonna be consumed from top to bottom so yeah🫠

What would you consider an unhealthy ingredient?

If you say the word chemicals, I'm going to mail you my chemistry 101 book :-P

Just be careful, because nuts are pretty calorie dense.

Popcorn is a good option for when your brain just wants to shovel food in your mouth.

It's the opposite for me, but my sleeping meds make me ravenously hungry.

Very true. I was speaking for myself a bit. I can't eat too many nuts, they hurt my stomach so u just use them to satiate the crunch craving on the go, during the week.

On a Friday night when ive got the munchies all bets are off. And popcorn is absolutely on my rotation of brain off snacking.

pickles, cucumbers, carrots, peppers. nice and crunchy, basically zero cal, they take some time to eat (unlike nuts that you can pop by the handful).

but yeah for shovelling, dry popcorn is a good option
