I try to eat tactically to remove the need for snacks. Protein and fat aid satiety so for example today at breakfast I had a large steak with a fried egg on top, and a pile of steamed veg with a glob of butter on top of that. It was a large meal, roast dinner sized.

I find a mix of proteins in the one meal really helpful personally too. I know it sounds weird but you can achieve a similar effect with eggs, bacon, sausage, tomatoes, mushrooms…etc.

If I am going to snack I always have a large jar of olives, plenty of goats cheese, some dried berries if I'm after a little sugar hit, pistachios…I sling a dessert spoon of each in a little tupperware box and cart that around with me to nibble while I'm working.

One thing I notice is that if I eat any grains (pasta, bread…etc), which is rare, it generally makes life harder and makes me crave snacks…probably 'cos it puts me on a blood sugar roller coaster.
