   Scheduled snack times! And keep only healthy snacks easily accessible. If the cookies are out of sight, they're (mostly) out of mind. Drink lots of water too, sometimes you're just thirsty.

   Meal prep is your friend. Have lunches and healthy snacks pre-portioned. It removes the 'what should I eat' decision fatigue that often leads to grabbing whatever's easiest (and often unhealthiest).

   Try 'habit stacking'. If you get up to go to the kitchen, make sure you drink a full glass of water first. Sometimes that's all you needed. Also, closing the kitchen door (if you have one) can be a surprising mental barrier.

   I make a rule: no eating AT my desk. If I want a snack, I have to go to the kitchen and eat it there. That little bit of friction helps me be more mindful about whether I'm truly hungry or just bored.
