I've decided that I really snack too much, especially at work. Can you guys give me some ideas for things I can do instead of snacking to get my mind off of the fact that I am hungry and really want a snack (or maybe I'm just bored)?
Like, I can take a walk to the copier but that is only about 10 steps away from my desk.

Start smoking cigarettes.

Yeah, cigs or drink more water. My coworker who stopped smoking fake smokes on a straw all day long. So if you're already ready to quit before starting, maybe do that.

Yeah cause sunflower seeds are totally not a snack.

It's protein and it's not a bad snack. I do it all the time after dinner, while watching the Royals.

unless you're chomping down bags a day, it's a better alternative than pints of blue bell.

Yeah that would be perfect if I could actually leave when I get done with the work I actually need to get done, but they expect me to work 40 hours per week.

Mrs. Gooch, how about bringing apple cores to work? They're high in vitamins, low in calories and cyanide, yet disgusting enough that you don't actually want to snack on them.

it is also a can of sardines like in the pampa box. it was vandalized by a coworker, but actually i can't bring myself to eat it now because without the box it is just a blank unlabeled tin can which kind of freaks me out.

what is your favorite brand of sardines?

I actually had some baby carrots with my salad for lunch.
-

of the stuff available in standard kansas supermarkets, probably Beach Cliff. Worst is the crown prince in the plastic pouch. The corwn prince quality is fine, but the sardines quickly get smushed in the bag and liquified. Bags just can't compete with armored cans.

Puni, that's about the same amount of food I keep in my house. Do you get any work done, or do you just chomp on sardines and dentyne ice all day?

like, if your office loses power for days and you're all locked in because the doors are electronic and all the windows are shatter-proof? How would you decide who you share your 'dines with? Or, would you not tell anyone and try to eat them in secret?
-

Sd was being funny but this is actually the best advice. Don't give your dumb monkey brain access to delicious sugar and sodium and it will give up and move on to something else. Like cigarettes or gambling.

hmm. pretty much everyone knows i have a cache of supplies. honestly i dont think anybody here has enough will to live to share these sardines with me.
the emergency i am envisioning is more like forgetting my breakfast or lunch or if i accidentally hacked a lunch with too few energy units and need some more sustenance to get me through the day.

exactly. you have to really really really need a snack to unzip that sardine pouch and squeeze it into your mouth.

Hey Mrs. Gooch I believe Wacky has a friend who would be happy to set you up with some hunger-busting shakes. It's kind of a lifestyle, from what I understand.
-
buy five cans of tuna, a loaf of bread, a bottle of mustard and a bag of pretzels. this is your lunch. replace the cans of tuna at the start of every work week. replace the other items as needed. BLAMO

i like a couple pieces of toast around 10am :D

a good way to cut back on too much snacking is to not snack. it's called self-control. how hungry do you have to be before you build yourself a drawer of snacks at your office?
good God- it's been 2 hours since i housed that triple quarter pounder. I AM STARVING AND WON'T EAT AGAIN FOR 3 HOURS. HOW???!!!

-

There are psychology studies that indicate that humans only have a certain amount of self control. For instance, if you stop smoking you're more likely to eat more, or drink more, etc. Using this logic, the best way to diet is to start smoking.

Are you saying that if I eat a tuna sandwich for lunch I won't get hungry in the afternoon? (Plus I get free pretzels at work.)

I mean yesterday my stomach was literally growling in the afternoon, that's how hungry I was.

the answer is drink more water son
-
i've never considered keeping a private pantry at work
-
i actually just looked and i have zero things in my drawers. every item i keep at work just lays on my desk (i have one decoration and it's a #BID magnet which is a great conversation piece).
just some computer stuff, a pad of paper, and a couple of loose pens :lol:
-
I have a snack drawer but it doesn't have much in it right now. BUT we also have a snack cabinet (provided by work) and a small refrigerator full of pop plus a full size refrigerator half full of beer and the other half (plus the freezer) is available for me to put perishable snacks in.
-
I'm a vending machine guy. I know it probably costs me more $ in the long run, but if it's here, i'll eat it.
-
I don't snack at all at work. Don't keep anything in my desk other than mints. Drink water from the time I get to work to the time I leave. No soda, no coffee. When I get hungry in the afternoon, I just deal with it. Eat whatever for lunch and dinner, don't really snack after dinner unless binging and want a salty snack to accompany said binge.
-
If you exercise and lift on the reg, you should snack throughout the day.
-
Yup.
-
I snack quite a bit too, but I keep it fairly healthy. Dried fruits (pineapple and bananas are my favorites), trail mixes (I try to go without chocolate), nuts (almonds, cashews), or low fat yogurts.
-
Every once in a while I'll get a Butterfinger from the VM. :shy:
-
what if someone came up with a vending machine that had puppies/kitties in it :Wha:

-
Rake's pro tip from a year or 2 back was to brush your teeth often and instead of snacking.
-
My snacking is really not that unhealthy usually, but I am snacking very often. Right now the only thing in my snack drawer is this trail mix. (and a can of soup for emergency lunches) But sometimes I bring a microwavable egg roll. And our snack cabinet has pretzels and Doritos. (also Nutter Butters but those are gross)

The snack/lunch drawer is literally the only drawer that has anything in it. Everything else is on the desk, but I have like 25 linear feet of desk space 3 feet deep so it's like hilariously barren too. (#sevenbrag)

The worst vices are the ones that you won't even let your friends know about. You might know some serial killers.

Yeah, maybe. I lot of them work out obsessively so maybe that could be considered a vice. There's always something.

Snacking actually isn't bad for you because it speeds up your metabolism. Just make sure it's fruits instead of twinkies

You know what really speeds up my metabolism? Triple cheeseburgers. My metabolism is all like, "wow! This is a ton of crap I need to try to convert to energy! *rolls up stomach sleeves*"
-
I've been working on a way to eat while I'm sleeping so that I can keep my metabolism revved up alllllllll night long. Maybe some type of slide that just drops Ms. Wacky's healthy chicken pot stew into my open mouth.

This has come into question lately. A lot of new studies indicate the opposite, and a reexamination of the original study made it obvious that it was based on an entirely too small group and it was not controlled very well. #blessed

To keep from snacking eat lotsa fat and minimal carbs. Too many carbs trigger elevated sugar levels and in turn elevated cravings for more. A high fat diet will keep u satiated throughout the day.
