Will Someone Explain Munchies To Me

[Poppy]

This is my dilemma… my retirement gig has me flying a desk and a blasted computer. Not complaining… I’m truly blessed with employment.

While working at my desk, either teleworking at the house or in the office… I always get the munchies. It seems as though I’ve got to be eating something at all times and it’s a struggle not to. It’s a busy high pressure job… not boring at all.

On weekends or a day off… I can swing a framing hammer, plant shrubs etc all day with a couple of food breaks. Intake the appropriate macros and go back to work without a care about a tart…

You’re bored? Try keeping a sugar free lozenge in your mouth or something. To you use smokeless tobacco? When I quit and was sitting still I was used to having a dip in and so I wanted to eat.

So your looking for a list of good munchies?

 

[Poppy]

I’ve quit dipping coming on maybe 5-6 uears now.

I am addicted to nicotine lozenges BUT YOU called me out on them in another thread and i have since literally cut my intake in half heading for nicotine free…

Do you have food within sight?
Or just hungry it also might be that your working out so your body wants food.

 

[Poppy]

Nah…just trying to get my head straight… Carbs are not my friend.

 

[Poppy]

I take that back…any delicious noncarb munchies suggestions would be great!

 

[John]

Fine,no carbsSo pick out some healthy munchies

 

[Poppy]

Brother…teleworking has me steps from the pantry fridge cabinets haha… not in sight but very close.

 

[John]

Nevermind

 

[Poppy]

I am having trouble finding one that takes the cravings away…diet Dr Pepper used to bit not so much now

 

[Poppy]

I’m just being a whiney weakling right now

 

[John]

I’m the wrong person to be weighing in on this anyway

 

[Bigmurph6]

This is a problem I have the same issue I know there’s food I want to eat. Gotta get a lock on the cabinet lol

 

[Bigmurph6]

Try keeping a sugar free lozenge in your mouth

This is great advice

 

[Bigmurph6]

You can always make your munchies your meals.
Prep food that you can eat all day that fits your diet. Shit chop chicken into small pieces and pop them all day.
Just gotta find something that works for your diet and you can eat multiple minny meals all day long.

 

[John]

Ha ha a lock on the food pantry, even if I told my wife to do that and hide the key, I’d end up destroying it.

 

[John]

That’s a good idea

 

[Bigmurph6]

I have in the past lol I didn’t have a key I went and got the drill lol lol

I only needed to drill out the screws but she was like wtf not a good night lol

 

[Poppy]

Chicken chunks is a good idea!
