Snacking

I rarely snack, but on the rare occasional I watch a film in the evening, I do like those round savoury biscuits with one of my partner's home made dips. It's got to be such a routine that as soon as we plug the computer in I start looking around for them, even when I'm not at all hungry. What is it about snacks that makes us crave them even when we're not hungry? Do you have a particular activity that you associate snacks with?

Protein Rice Krispie Treats right now and I'm on my way to get the apples and peanut butter right now. Yum.

But are you hungry or snacking from habit?

@GreenMoo I eat whether I am hungry or not to get my macros in for the day. Sometimes I get really full, but I know I must eat for my protein, carbs and fat in for the day.

Usually few minutes after a meal, I crave for a snack. And what I did was to stock my fridge with sliced celery and carrots and have a mayo dressing with it. I do not know about the snacks too, maybe it is the happy hormones that we get from chewing.

That's a good idea, to plan for it.
