I am eating too much junk and processed food while watching movies and youtube videos. I want to stop as it affects my health. Any suggestions.

I love me some salty food so I feel the pain. I'll echo the sentiment of not buying it in the first place. Will power is an exhaustible resource.

I find that it almost doesn't matter what I snack on I just want to snack. I will literally buy a huge bag of carrots and just eat those. Or my other favorite is toss a couple of strained cans of garbanzo beans in an air fryer, spray a bit of cooking spray, toast those suckers for 25 min, and salt/season them for a protein heavy snack that actually has fiber. Cheap, easy, and gives me similar vibes to a potato chip in an incredibly more healthy way.

Thanks for the chickpea recipe! To add to your carrot tip: when I buy them I peel them straight away and store them in a sealed container in the fridge. They stay crispy and juicy that way.

I get them whole and eat them whole. So dang cheap. Like $3 for a 5lb bag. I get made fun of endlessly by some, but I joke that if it were a bag of Doritos no one would bat an eye and that says a lot about the state of things. My wife joked that I have "car carrots" and just leave a big bag of carrots in the car if the weather permits.

I am never hungry for a snack if I eat 2lbs of raw carrots.
