How do I stop snacking so much?! Ugh. Any “best” snack options that’ll be more filling? Am I doomed? I just don’t know why I’m so snacky every evening as I try to lay down for sleep.

Try to get to the root cause of your snacking. Are you actually snacking because you're hungry or because you're bored, sad, stressed, etc.?

D1, I'm no expert when it comes to psych, but try to get more in touch with your hunger signals and overall emotions.

For example, don't eat while on your phone or watching TV to get a better feeling for what satiety feels like. And if you feel like snacking, sit the snack out, go away for 20 mins, and decide if you're actually eating it from a place of hunger or emotion. These are just some of the tips I've heard of the years.

If you're looking for more of a program, Maggie Sterling runs a program called Vibe Club. I'm not a member but I've been following her work for years and she really focuses on developing tools, skills, and your mind.

Fruits/veggies. I know this is basic, and I was a skeptic, but I found that grapes are satisfying for a sweet tooth and fidgeting/fixations and broccoli is the best steamed veggie for a quick desk snack.

Don't be afraid to do the abnormal - everyone will tell you nuts, dried fruit, bagged snacks - find your motivation for snacking and find something to fit that need.

Are you eating enough at your meals? Do you actually stop snacking when full? I don’t think more filling snacks would help if you don’t stop when full anyway

If you just want to taste something and aren’t truly hungry, I’d try herbal tea! There are some really delicious flavors. Also went through a phase of eating probiotic gummy vitamins at bedtime (they were delicious and it was safe to eat 10 per day)

Or you might realize you aren’t satiated from your meals during the day-might be good to asses your protein intake!

Same… 🥲

For me, my snacking was out of control at night while working late or watching TV so I started intermittent fasting which requires you fast 12-16hrs a day so my last meal or snack is at 7pm and I don’t eat again until the morning. It took willpower but it worked! I don’t snack at night anymore and I lost a lot weight.

Generally two things will make you feel fuller for longer: protein and volume. I’d look at both your meals and your snacks and see if there’s a way to up one or both of those without upping total calories (assuming you’re worried about your weight). Hard boiled eggs, vegetables, lean proteins (chicken, tofu), water, tea, and plain popcorn are always good. If you are craving something specific (e.g. salt on a day you worked out) then a snack is reasonable, just premeasure your portions.

Yes to also maintaining weight, so this is good info! Ty.

Weirdly when I lived alone I did this allllll the time. Since moving in with my partner I’ve stopped naturally. I kinda realized it wasn’t because I was truly hungry, but more for comfort, or it was emotional, or I just did it out of boredom.
