I saw my doctor recently and while talking about what a lazy fat-ass I am, he mentioned something about replacing the crap I usually snack on with healthier snacks like seasoned air-fried cauliflower or something like that. So what are your favorite healthy-ish snacks that can be made relatively quickly when I feel like shoving food in my face for no reason other than boredom and force of habit?
It’s also important to change how you eat.
Do you tear open a box/bag of something and gun it down in front of a screen?
Try making yourself actual meals. Use napkins and silverware and non-paper plates. Make a protein, a carb, and some greens. Sit at the dinner table, not in front of the TV.
Even if it’s just a snack you can present it nicely. Cut the apple up and lay it out with bits of cheese.
Make the meal seem special.
I feel personally attacked
There was a cartoon. One person says that the only time they clean their apartment is when someone special is coming over. The other says “Don’t you think you’re special?”
Mind you, I do all that (without fail) and I’m still a lardarse.

15 minute a day plan. The only equipment you need is a stopwatch.
Starts at a level anyone who can walk around the block can do.
Ah. I can’t walk around the block. I have CFS and post exertional malaise.
Damn, thats tough, you have strict limitations on the level of physical exertion you can do. This means that your diet is really the only realistic way to manage your weight.
You mentioned you already eat healthy snacks but if you are still overweight, you have been eating more kcal than you use, over a long period of time. Tracking calories is not fun but have you tried it? Its not something you need to do forever, just long enough to have an understanding of what you need to eat.
