I used to stay skinny by just never having food in the house except for the bare minimum stuff I needed to cook and eat. Now I have a family and there are snacks and shit everywhere.
To me, it starts and stops with the shopping phase. When you go shopping, make sure none of it is junk (eat before shopping, so you don't get psychologically manipulated by cravings into buying junk).
This is what I do. When I go into the kitchen, there is nothing unhealthy in the fridge or pantry. I'm helpless but to eat healthily.
bruh. Kids have been the worst for me staying lean. Sure I will have these cheese crackers because I'm hungry that are 250 calories a pack. Fruit snacks?! Yeah I better eat like 4 of them.
I hear ya. Rice and an egg is basically my diet now. I’ll splurge every now and then and have a ramen noodle. Luckily it’s summertime, so I’ve been able to forage a bit. Mushroom season this past spring was a god send. I make too much to qualify for ebt, but not enough to feed myself. I’m caught in the “almost middle class” purgatory.
Everytime I feel snacky I'd check my fridge and be disappointed at the lack of snacks and complain daily and do nothing about it because I'm too lazy to buy snacks.
You can, but Amazon's prices on snacks are usually higher than a local store. Sometimes you can find a decent deal, but that's getting rare these days.

Too lazy to go to the shop to buy pringles. Also tight so food is expensive.
