Are You Guilty Of EWB (Eating While Bored)?

(BlackDoctor.org) — Do you ever have those days when you feel like a bottomless pit snacking on everything in sight? Sometimes your body requires more calories, but let’s face it, sometimes you just eat out of sheer boredom. But no worries—we’ve all been there. Here’s what you can do when you want to ward off those boredom munchies.

Put it on a plate

When you want to eat everything in sight, it’s sometimes for a good reason: You’re hungry! If your breakfast, lunch, or dinner doesn’t satisfy you, you inevitably end up aimlessly snacking. Instead, you should prepare a snack with a mix of healthy carbs, protein, and fat, and place it on a plate before you eat it. That way, you see how much you are eating instead of mindlessly chomping away.

Drink up

You should drink water throughout the day, but you should also sip right before and during meals to help satisfy hunger. And if you’re feeling extra snacky, chug 8 to 10 ounces of water and then wait a little while before you decide whether to eat something. Most of the time, water does the trick.
