I hate this. I need to stop eating chips whenever I get home from work, so I didn’t buy any. Then I get home from work and I don’t have any chips to eat and dinner isn’t soon enough😩
Try eating an apple.
I’ve got a cracked screen so it looked like you said “try renting an apple”, I almost cackled
Apple phone leasing product placement is getting weird
Try to have some fruit on hand!
I would also recommend some bananas.

Pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, various nuts and other baked legumes are decent alternatives for chips.
There are all rice chips, root chips, pea chips, and so forth.
Nothing, however, can replace real chips…
Just be careful, because nuts are pretty calorie dense.
Popcorn is a good option for when your brain just wants to shovel food in your mouth.
Yeah, I used to get nuts, but I go through them quickly, easily eating more calories at a faster rate than if I get grabbed some Cheetos^™.
Now, I air-pop my own popcorn. The additional effort is a helpful chance to ask myself if I really want to snack, and a full half cap of kernels (which is a lot of popped corn) and as much EVOO as I care to dose it with is still a lot fewer calories than I would get from nuts, and it takes longer to eat.
pickles, cucumbers, carrots, peppers. nice and crunchy, basically zero cal, they take some time to eat (unlike nuts that you can pop by the handful).
but yeah for shovelling, dry popcorn is a good option
