I personally redirect myself from munching and do exercise instead. Some form of stretching like yoga or something like that. If you're not the type that can do that then I would consider consuming your cannabis instead of vaping

Great suggestion! Discover the joy of edibles and stretching tai chi, yoga, exercise. If you feel euphoric take a run or lift.

Change the time of your main meal for afterwards, pre-prepare said meal and "munch-out" on that? What we did in college was work out in the gym, smoke and then go to dinner. Still gotta watch your portions (hence the pre-prepare). ;-)

Smoke until you're too high to be hungry.

Haha, MFP is so anti-pot :P Anyway, a few things to consider:

1) Strains can make a big difference. With the emergence of more and more medically-intended cannabis strains, you're going to have more precice information about how it will probably affect you. Some weed will make you hungry (this is often supplied for people with hic or nausia from chemo), whereas others will have been designed to not give you the munchies. Check out leafly.com for more info.

It honestly might be a matter of switching from indica to sativa. Indica is known to make people sleepy and hungry.

2) Pre-plan. Make yourself healthy snacks to have on hand. This will make it easier to count calories if you do go crazy and have 5 helpings of veg and hummous and not 1. Make sure you put any high-cal food you might snack on out of sight. If you're stoned you're probably going to go for the easy option.

3) it's mostly in your head - like when you get the munchies, you're not actually ravenously hungry, you just think you are. Find a distraction, it shouldn't be hard when you're stoned, haha.

Btw, running and working our is awesome when you're stoned.

Munchies are easy to overcome with a bit of practic

This. Exactly

Perhaps use a different strain?

Wow, the things you learn on MFP. Actually it's very interesting being a child of the 70s. I can't remember what I used to eat when I had the munchies - does that say something about my brain cells lol.
