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?

    Nuts are very caloricly dense, yes but since they are whole foods they do not have the same effect on your weight as a processes snack with the same amount of calories (say chips or candy). If you’re gonna snack on something, whole foods are always better.

        Outside of a human body, a calorie is a calorie. Once inside being digested things get more complex. What I stated was not pulled out of thin air, take a look here

        The truth is: Energy measurements of foods do not accurately reflect the energy a human body will get out of them.

        Not to mention the fact that different people get different energy out of the same foods, since an integral part of our digestive system are hundres of different species of bacteria that vary between humans.
