Hah, fair point. The Jack in the Box around the corner advertises:

- Late night “munchie meals” (https://jackinthebox.fandom.com/wiki/Jack%27s_Munchie_Meal)

- Delivery until 3 AM.

That can’t be a healthy combination.

I avoid the munchies mostly by drinking a crap load of water, which I need to do anyway to keep my sensitive throat from getting sore.

Microwave popcorn is also only about 400 calories a bag!

For me as a daily weed user, this "type" of munchies only persisted for so long. Curious to hear of others experiences, but after about a year of developing the habit, I became almost repulsed by very salty/greasy/sweet foods and started to crave simpler meals comprised of more fruits and vegetables.

Healthy food tastes better too. Honestly I’ve grown sick of simple snack foods by now. I’d much rather eat a nice meal

I wish more folks realized this. I tend to eat healthier if I smoke regularly because of this.

tbf the munchy satisfying foods aren't necessarily empty calories. Alcohol is the worst of all macros and devoid of nutrition.
