Mindless Snacking

I mostly make snacks harder to get. The things I have to snack on still have to be "assembled" in some way. I make sure there isn't anything I can just swipe a handful of. If I have cheese and crackers, I have to get out the cheese and slice it. I buy all of my produce already prepped, so I don't have that step. But I can't stand the taste of any vegetable plain, so I have to figure out a dip/marinade/topping of some kind to flavor things up. Sometimes I have half a sandwich, so have to drag everything out for that. Bonus points if it's something that makes my hands messy like cheese crackers. What I don't have are things like popcorn or cheese crackers that I can scoop up my the handful when I walk by--or worse--carry the whole container to where ever I am to snack on it.

Figuring out why all the mindless snacking is an important thing to do. I think in the meantime, strategies for the eating itself can be useful to kind of set up guardrails while you figure things out.

pre log my food at the beginning of the day. pre weigh snacks and put in bowls or baggies.

I used to snack many times/day but I knew it wasn't hunger, only boredom/stress. More than snacking, it was continuous munching (and I work from home, so my office is about two meters from kitchen...).

So, for starters I used chewing gum. A lot of that, a lot (veeery lot) of times/day. I put it in mouth, gave very few bites and discarded it. But many many times a day, I don't know how much chewing gum I've bought!
It lasted about 6 months, I think.
That won my habit: finally, I had no more continuous desire for continuous munching.

At that point, I found myself obliged to add in snacks, because I was always undereating!!

So, I worked on logging.
I was already accostumed to pre-log my two main meals (before MFP I used a personal journal), and to log my breakfast also as soon as I ate it, so I knew since from the morning how many calories I still had in the day (often since from the previous week, but that's because I meal-prep/batch cook almost every lunch and dinner of the week on the previous weekend).
So, after having logged breakfast (this I do when I eat it, because it varies on the spur of the moment), I started logging also 3 healthy snacks that I want for sure in my day 'cause they are good for my health (1 fruit, 1 chunk of parmesan and 1 yogurth).

Added these, sometimes I needed some more calories just to reach minimum; and surely I'll have some extra calories from my exercise (I only walk, but a lot, at least 20k steps a day, and I always eat half of this too, or also more/everything in two pre-defined days/week, as when it's pizza day and hamburger day) so here goes the treats: a square of dark chocolate; some nuts; a couple of biscuits; a second fruit; sometimes, even a sandwich.

PS: I'm never hungry anymore, but this I noticed happened since when I introduced the plate diet
