I just want to eat...

I try to drink water when I find myself wanting to reach for a snack (I keep a big bottle with me everywhere I go) or carry healthy filling stuff like baby carrots & radishes, almonds & string cheese, or those little Jiff to-gos & celery! I also recently discovered Kind bars which are amazing!

For an on the go snack I recommend eating a protein bar. It's good for getting your protein numbers in and they are healthy. I personally use Pure Protein bar, but there are various brands to choose from. Just make sure you look at the sugar content. You want the bar to be low in sugar.

air popped popcorn (no butter) 3 cups.
Big veggie smoothie with Greek yogurt (you'll feel good about all the green veggies you are eating)
Check your cycle. Craving happen just before. Maybe that's why you just want to eat? Or are you stressed. Sorry, you asked for ideas of what to eat...I got a little carried away.
Deep breaths.
Good luck.

Nuts or peanut butter. Anything calorie dense with water usually curbs this for me.

I have been in your shoes before and caved, and yo-yo'ed between 200-210 for a couple of months because of it. I can tell you it is 100% mental, and I haven't had much success 'tricking' my brain into NOT wanting to eat any more. I just have to exercise a LOT of willpower.

That said, chocolate protein shakes & peanut butter sandwiches are my go-to 'snacks' - they easily come in at 500+ calories together, so I usually make myself work out beforehand, so they fit into my calories. For example, I wake up just wanting to eat ALL the things. I get through the day, but after supper I just feel like vegging out in front of the TV with chocolate and carbs. So I let my supper go down, and go bust my butt at the gym - even 20-30 minutes is better than nothing, but with lifting I can make it to 45. I work out until I'm exhausted, shower, then lie in bed with my chocolate smoothie and PB sandwich and watch a few episodes of my fav show. Feels decadent but I earned it

You do have the willpower in you, it's just like a muscle that needs exercise too

I generally see this when people over restrict calories and/or foods. How many calories are you eating? What type of exercise are you doing? And what are your stats?

My thoughts as well. Last time I "dieted", I restricted myself too much. Yes, I lost weight! Quite a bit actually. But then I started to totally binge and didn't stop. I was hungry ALL THE TIME! So this time, I set my goals to lose 1 lb a week, eat back 75% of exercise calories earned, and I don't believe I have gone hungry once. If anything, I find myself eating something like peanut butter to reach my calorie goal at the end of the day

Are you craving anything in particular? Sometimes when I want sweet, a piece of fruit is enough to give my body sugar. Sometimes a diet soda does the trick too as it also makes me feel full (carbonation).

For crunchy, I agree with the popcorn. Either air pop at home or get some of those 100 cal bag of light butter microwave popcorn. I like those best because they're already portioned out so you can gobble up the bag guilt free.

A really great snack to munch on and not feel guilty about is roasted edamame. They are really delicious and full of protein as well. I keep a bag at my desk handy at all times.
