That’s why you do it
Yeah, this sounds like a win. If we replace the word “snack” with “smokes” then it’s a definite win.
I have a convenience store ¾ of a mile from my house. I’ve made the deal with myself that if I just have to give in to that snack attack, then I have to walk there and back for it… it’s not a perfect solution, but it has helped slow down the frequency of me actually snacking.
We have a thing called GoPuff where I live. It’s a delivery service like Door Dash or InstaCart but they only deliver snacks, drinks, frozen food, and basic household stuff.
The internal debate I always have about using them is that I really just want one snack but you have to order at least $12 worth of stuff or else they charge a “small order fee” where you basically pay the same amount anyway.
I know once all of those snacks are there in front of me I’ll end up eating them all and get a stomach ache, but I also really don’t want to get dressed and go all the way back to the store again…
It’s maddening 😅
I generally avoid quick delivery apps because I don’t want another human being trying to beat the traffic just to keep their delivery score high.
Instead I opt for grocery delivery where I can give a large order a day or two in advance and they don’t have target of 15 minutes to beat.
Unfortunately, food delivery apps are exceptions to this but I use them like once or twice a month at most.
15 minutes? I’ve never used any delivery app where they had to be there in 15 minutes! Usually the “estimated delivery time” is like 45 minutes but there’s no official set time they have to beat. They all seem to kind of take their time honestly lol
There’s such a company in Amsterdam that promises to get it to you in under 15 minutes, but you don’t see them that much any more, at least I haven’t in the past year or so. I think they’ve been regulated out of the market. It’s rare you can’t do your own shopping more quickly, too.
Same, but it is the reason I do it as well. Gotta unlearn this behavior
The issue with me is that I then replace the snack with two or three sandwiches at home, which mostly contains more calories than the snack I was yearning for…
Trail mix is a nice alternative. I should keep it around when I want a snacky snack.
Trail mix is calorie dense and, if you aren’t careful, can contain a lot of sugar.
Trail mix is horrible alternative. It has a shit ton of calories for what you snack
I just dole out a half cup, measured in grams at ~75g, when I feel snackish. While calorie dense, there’s a number of good fats, protein, vitamins / minerals. Compared to say cookies or chips, etc.
Lmao that’s like 350 kcal. That’s a whole breakfast for me
In the past I ate a lot of unhealthy snacks, but now I just eat some nuts if I begin yearning for snacks. Also sometimes dried fruit (which probably isn’t healthy in big amounts, but not as bad as cookies, chocolate or chips).
Sometimes my cravings for junk food are just my body saying it needs salt. Sometimes I just eat a little salt on its own.
Carrot sticks? Nuts?
What am I a dweeb? Bring out the Crisco!
What’s dweeb and Crisco?
Lidl date and peanut bar 🤤🤤 Also ginger + apple juice shot
