Finger into the jar of peanut butter it is, then.

Peanut butter is the snack food I have to leave at the store. I can eat like 1,000Cal of it in a few minutes.

Just go on keto or similar and now you're maintaining a perfect diet.

It's still a crap-ton of calories, at least the way I eat it. I've proven you can gain weight on keto. It's harder but snacking on PB all day is one way to get enough calories to do it.

It's even worse for me. I can leave the snacks at the store all I want, but I can't escape because I can bake. If I get bored I'll end up making cookies.

At least then, I can tell myself I have to work for the snacks if I REALLY want them.

Try this one, simply don't buy any bags of sugar

But then I can't have homemade cookies that are so fluffy and flavorful.

Wanna come get bored at my house? I have all the sugar these guys keep telling you not to buy

It's so easy too, and really only takes a few minutes of work. I'm a little mad at my mom for teaching me to bake.

Let's check the fridge and cupboards again, maybe some snacks have materialised since the last time we checked.

Snacks don't materialize, standards get lower.

Cheese and some hotsauce, call it the depression meal. God help me if I have to start just drinking cold water and hope the feeling passes. Fuck all those places that were open 24hrs before covid and now close at 2200.

I used to drunkenly crave chips and ice cream and would forget that I set a reminder to buy them the next day. And as sober-me wisely dismissed those reminders, the reminders would get progressively angrier and more forceful. It was kind of hilarious.

Shit, that's hillarious. I could see someone doing a whole YT channel of sober me vs. drunk me arguements. Way better than "WaTcH tHiS (insert demograhic) pErSoN lIsTeN tO Led Zeppelin FoR tHe FiRsT TiMe".

The withdrawals are a pain, but they do eventually go away... until I have little a snack (as a treat) and the cravings come back something fierce. Still, my laziness not wanting to go to the store outweighs my cravings.

Oh man, now you’re just gonna have to make something fresh to snack on. Bummer

I just eat a raw onion. (Not joke)

I think eating a chunk of raw onion was about the only time normal food made me feel as bad as if I'd drank too much crappy liquor.

Just don't be my old roommate who would microwave it for 8 minutes first.

That would be nearly disintegrated if he really did it for 8min

Nope, they basically become sautéed onions. The layers kinda pop out one by one. Iirc it was only an 800W microwave.

I'd say you're welcome to try it yourself, but be warned that literally everything you own will smell like onions.

Really most fruits and veggies are fine for snacking. Celery is super easy but I will also mix mustard and balsamic vinegar into a dressing for spinach, tomatoe, bell pepper salad

Okay hear me out. Sauerkraut. Don't get the canned stuff; get the refrigerated sauerkraut as that's hugely beneficial to your gut. I find snacking on a bit of that satiates my snacking drive in the evening.

Dawg I could kill a bag of peppermint patties rn I should have gotten some

When you say bag how many are we talking about? I could never eat more than a couple at one time. Too much choco-mint-sweetness for me.

I'm talking one of these

Brand censored because I don't advertise for free

Good thing too; the peppermint patty market is so oversaturated no one will ever guess what brand it is.
