Lifestyle tips

What is a preferred mindless snacking food? Looking for cheap, low-ish sugar (avoid crash), higher cal. Used to do granola and may go back unless others have better alternatives.

I would ditch simple carbs, higher sugar snacks. The crash is what makes you feel hungry again faster (think: McDo food). In my book, that's a good thing

At this point, the little man is so fat a pound cake counts as a snack. He'll bake one in the morning and break off a piece when he's resting. The cake never lasts long.
He'll also eat an entire sandwich as a "snack", in addition to grazing or when he's cooking or An actual meal. So, basically anything is fair game. I once saw him put pieces of cut beef inside half a pita and stuff it with cheese and avocado and call it a snack. I guess as you get fatter, the term snack can indicate a lot of things.
