[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you actually hungry when you snack?   If the issue is emotional eating, the answer is to

1.  Stop buying the snacks you would eat 
2.  Occupy your hands with something else until you break the habit.   [/quote]
OP here.

I am absolutely NOT hungry.

The problem is that I will eat the kids snacks, or even just semi-decent food that I just don’t need, like a peanut butter sandwich. A PBJ, for example, is an easy extra 350-400 calories! [/quote]

I’d stop tracking calories and just make better choices. Consider all fresh veggies, fresh fruit, eggs, and fresh unprocessed meats a free for all. Instead of making the PB & J then eat a roasted chicken leg quarter or a few hard boiled eggs or half a  bag of grapes instead. This takes some prep work so you have things that are easy to grab but not counting calories is worth it. If it doesn’t fall into one of these categories then don’t ever eat it for a snack and really think before you eat it as part of a meal. Ditch the protein shakes and anything else that’s processed or has added sugar of any kind. If you need sweetener on your fruit use local honey in moderation.[/quote]
Honestly, this is horrible advice.

A half bag of grapes? Do you even realize how many calories that is?

The fact of the matter is, calories matter, even if they are from grapes, or chicken, or eggs, and you need to be in a deficit to lose weight.

And protein shakes are easy, dense protein that are low in calorie. They are actually the perfect food on a macro level, by design.

Well there is a whole science behind it and WW absolutely allows for this. I eat A LOT of fruit. No restriction. Lost a lot of weight doing this.

Protein shakes are processed foods. They are not low calorie and I can't imagine anyone suggesting this powder nonsense over real food.[/quote]
