How can i prevent myself from eating too much when bored?

Eat! But eat smart.: If you eat when you're bored, maybe you're not eating enough of right foods. It's not just number of calories but also composition of those calories. Carbohydrates tend to get burned up quickest, although you can choose healthier low glycemic carbs w/lots of fiber. Protein sticks around longer & delays hunger. Choose lean meats, fish, chicken, even beans. Don't forget healthy fats like fish & vegg.

No easy answer: Eating when bored is part of the spectrum of addictive eating since we eat unrelated to our hypothalmic drive. Find other activities, an overeaters anonymous meeting or a weight watchers support group. Keep your meals planned and your time structured. Meds help.
