    I don't know how people do it when they're home all day. I'm on yet another snow day at home and just ate 3 pieces of pizza, half a sald, some chicken and banana oatmeal chocolate chip bars

    I work from home. When I get sufficient protein, regular exercise, and good sleep, I have no urge to snack.

    @tburgardt - what's your goal weight and how many grams of protein are you eating per day?

    My goal weight is 135. My last lady doctor said that was a good goal to have with my height and build. And I try to eat as much protein as I can but I'm not even eating half the amount as I should.

    My best tip is pre-logging before you put anything in your mouth. I'd log what I planned to eat for my meals (adjusting before eating as the food was weighed), knowing what was left over was for snacks. Once I started doing this I could decide if the calories fit and whether they are worth it.

    I have noticed that pre-logging does help some. I just have to get into the habit of doing it.
