I tried coming up with alternatives for my cravings. Jicama wasn okay, but I didn't get it again.

Trail mix.

Nuts, cashews, pecans, raisins/dried fruits, a few m&ms or what not sprinkled in.

Its got way more actual nutrients than most snack food, way less hyper processed nonsense, and is just literally more dense, so a few handfulls and you'll be as full as an entire bag of chips.

Salty, crunchy, sweet.

Obv not a good plan if youre allergic to nuts, though.

Grapes are pretty cool too. Or baby carrots.

hell yeah! If you are somebody that wants something less calorie dense, go for something higher in fibre because it'll fill you up. Most fruit is surprisingly high in fibre!

Look at Mr. Fucking Rockefeller here with his walk in pantry! Poor guy with his food rooms and pants and shit.

If it helps any, I do not trust the load bearing ability of these shelves.

Keep doing it and you'll stop craving it. Also remember reading something that when you feel like snacking, drink water your body is thirsty.

I can vouch for the water trick. I add two heaping teaspoons of psyllium fiber. Gives me that satisfying filled feeling.

It's a slightly ablest quote, but in a world of quotes that fail to inspire me at all I find this one often does the trick.

Also, eat more fiber throughout the day, and it helps with the cravings a lot. But yes water is good. I also have tea a lot when I'm craving my late night munchies.

I bought myself intermediate, mediocre snacks. If I’m really hungry I guess I’ll have some corn flakes and blueberries.

That's what I said about babies and now I'm in prison so ... Moral of the story is don't eat vegetables no matter how plump and succulent.

2

Baby carrots are a perfect line for me. I love baby carrots, but I definitely have to be hungry enough to eat them instead of just craving salt or sugar.

Try Konjac jelly, there's a lot of japanese pouch versions of these and they're like under 10 calories total so you dont feel bad. Kinda pricy outside asia though

LOL i grabbed the first image I found of one, didn't even see who the reseller was

The idea behind konjac jelly is basically it's a soluble fiber, I'd assume that's why that reseller is advertising it. It's essentially a mini fiber supplement which is kinda nice to have in stock in kombinis because fiber is surprisingly hard to find in japan, fruit there is expensive.

It just kinda tastes like lychee jelly both texture and flavor wise if you ever had it, minus the sugary portion. You can get the sugary option but that adds about 50 to 100 calories. Theres also other flavors, but I personally like lychee or grape.

That's a terrible feeling that I have definitely experienced. "That stupid jerk (past-me) did this!"

The corollary to stoners being able to make a pipe out of anything is that stoners are able to make a snack out of anything.

I’d realize I was dreaming pretty quickly in a pantry that size

Is it better or worse that they're clearly using it to store chemicals and random junk they never use?

8

Well they clearly don't have a lot of food in the house, but have tons of storage space in the house, so inevitably the space gets filled with something.

Sadly, my munchies are completely fine with a piece of bread and something on top, or the bunch of popcorn i still have to make in a large pan. On one hand, at least they have no issues with cheap snacks, otoh there's always something at home that can be redefined to snack by them.

So real :3 Where are my munchies 𐔌՞. .՞𐦯

Well I would be a thief if there was something inside cause I haven't bought some.

Still cravings are annoying. :3

Have you seen how expensive cereal is? Not even including the milk.

I guess you can use water like another commenter said in the thread.
