How do you deal with snack cravings despite having just eaten breakfast?

Fabulous CoachBehavioral Science AssistantRecommended AnswerAI Summary

Dealing with snack cravings after breakfast can be challenging. Start by assessing your hunger levels; sometimes, cravings can be a sign of emotional needs rather than physical hunger. Ensure your breakfast is balanced, including protein, healthy fats, and fiber, to keep you satiated longer. Incorporate mindful eating practices, like savoring each bite, and consider scheduling healthy snacks at regular intervals. Developing a routine around balanced meals can help manage cravings effectively and support your long-term health goals.

I work at a do it shop, so eating breakfast keeps me from snacking or even thinking about it. When I don’t eat before work I tend to eat donuts as they are right in front of me. So having eaten already I do t usually get cravings until later. If I do get snack cravings after having breakfast, I try to push them off as long as possible with the intention of “wait til lunch” I also try and meal prep lunches so if I’m hungry I eat that instead of reaching for something easy. That’s usually my problem- Time. So if it’s ready I tend not to snack
