2 questions I ask myself before grabbing a snack:
1️⃣ Am I physically hungry… or am i feeling a strong emotion (stress, boredom, overwhelm)?
2️⃣ If it *is* physical hunger… how hungry am I?
👉 Subtle hunger (but will also have time to eat a planned meal/snack in ~30 mins)
→ something light to hold me over
think: crackers, piece of fruit
👉 Louder hunger (with no planned meal/snack for 1+ hour)
→ something more satisfying (carbs + protein/fat)
think: oat + nut butter bars, trail mix
🧺 also… snack drawers are so underrated!!
I love mine! Not as a backup plan to replace meals, but as a way to stay responsive to my body when things shift a little (lunch didn’t stick, breakfast wasn’t enough, hunger showed up early)
It’s there to bridge the gap and keep my energy steady
aka giving my body what it’s asking for 🫶🏼
