    I try to balance health with frustration by buying snacks, which satiate at least somewhat, so for example trail mix or fruit. 🥴

      This is the way: either low-calorie or high satiation, and as much fibre as possible so you’re at least gaining something from it.

      I like baking carrot cake with as little sugar as is needed to make it taste good (which is remarkably less than recipes call for, i think i’m removing like A THIRD), and using whatever kind of flour has the highest proportion of fibre.
      It’s not healthy as such, but at least for me as someone who burns a decent amount of calories, it’s something i can snack on as much as i want without feeling bad (with the significant caveat of doing so AFTER i’ve eaten something more proper, so it’s not displacing the “real” food).
